09 :: R17 Sun :: Panthers 38 Eels 34 @ CUA

[mxlegend99]

We're playing a team that'a almost at full strength and has just come of their best win of the season. It might only be the Eels, but any decent team will beat us with ease. We look to be one of the worst teams in the NRL when playing without Luke Lewis.

I think we are a huge chance even without Lewis. Hopefully you will still get out to the Stadium and support the team even though they are missing a few players. A crowd of 18k+ plus is a must.

I'll support the team no matter who we're missing. I just don't see us being able to overcome so many injuries. Especially the week after the Eels have finally learned how to play football again.

They had learned how to play football after beating the Knights in Newcastle. Then promptly followed up with a rubbish showing against the Tigers, getting pumped at home. I don't rate the Eels at all. If they beat us it will be more about how bad we are missing key players than how good they are. Why should we be so scared about a team that has Jeff Robson at halfback?

I believe Inu has pulled out of game, Ben smith in.

only minutes away from kick off now. should be a tight game..

And eels dont have injuries? we lost Finch after round 4, then Kris Keating and Feleti Mateo were injured. now Inu has been ruled out (i believe) and theres doubt over cayless. Panthers arent the only club with missing players...

No defence in this game so far... 32-28 Penrith in front with just under 15 left.

 

[Timmah]

Parra 34-32. Unbelievable footy being played today.

Try Panthers pending video ref

 

[aussies1st]

Eels get the ball back by Hayne but throw it away next play. Hayne must be sick of playing with nuffies.

 

[Timmah]

Penrith win that one in a thriller, 38-34. :crazy:

I'm not sure if I've seen a worse game of rugby league this year. Sure some people will say it was close and high-scoring - but that is the single most embarrasing defensive display I can remember an NRL game ever producing.

 

[Caged Panther]

yeah but IMO it was a damn enjoyable to watch, great debut by Junior Tiakalifi too.

 

[Someone]

Orwell for the eels. our season is over, meanwhile Panthers still have a shot. Defence was disgraceful. most of the tries scored were so easy for the attacking team.

Your memory doesn't stretch too far.

Round 2 2006, Canberra v Newcastle. 70-32

 

[Paullyboy]

Fair point, I drank that game out of my memory.

 

[Bazal]

Woeful refereeing, woeful defence, and woeful attitude...why did I even bother watching

 

[murraymob]

considering penrith had 7 first graders not available for selection it was a mighty victory by the boys.Walsh is still finding his feet after just 5 games with the top team.Tia kilifi making his first grade debut was a standout
