The Panthers passed an important test on the road against the Broncos last weekend. They went to Brisbane and beat a team that had won five in a row. Sure, the Broncos were probably due for a loss, but a challenge like that would have been beyond the Panthers last year. They have developed to the stage now where they believe they can win, and are playing to their potential a lot more. And they have proven their ability to win when inspirational skipper Petero Civoniceva is out injured.
This shapes as a tough one for the Sea Eagles away from home. They showed plenty of spirit and commitment to nudge in front of the Rabbitohs late in last weekend's game, that one-point victory coming after back-to-back losses to the Broncos and Titans, but they have lost inspirational skipper, Jamie Lyon, to injury again. The Panthers have plenty of attacking firepower. They are the highest-scoring team in the competition. The Sea Eagles are going to have to defend tremendously well to put themselves in the game.

[Sleep]

Petero is 100% playing. Bell goes back to the bench. Puletua, Smith and Burns all drop off.

 

[mxlegend99]

I love those changes. Although i would prefer Burns ahead of Masada, but it's still a pretty strong side. Hopefully we play better then we did last year.

 

[cupid]

I've heard matai is out and Hoppa is in.

 

[effnic]

Any ones got the final team lists.

 

[Dr Crane]

nrl stats says manly are 1-17, petero in for penrith.

 

[cupid]

Good try to Penrith 4-0

 

[cupid]

Hoep we resign Farrar, looking the most dangerous in attack for us so far.

 

[cupid]

Point proven, beautiful run by Farrar. 4 all KTC

 

[cupid]

Nice play from Penrith. 10-6

 

[cupid]

100% handling from both sides tonight.

 

[Dr Crane]

18/18 completions, that's madness.

 

[cupid]

Does Hodkinson have anything more than an inside pass the Stewart. FFS.

It's 20/20 now

 

[cupid]

Bad read by Hodkinson leads to another try. 16-6

 

[Dr Crane]

that'll be try of the year.

 

[cupid]

Penrith are just on fire, all tries have been great plays.

 

[Garts]

That was a great try. We looked good for a bit there, now the Panthers are just carving us. Not unexpected but it got my hopes up watching the first 25 minutes.

 

[cupid]

Penrith have probably put together the best 20 minutes of their season, we aren't playing that bad.

 

[benntash]

The best half by 2 teams this year ( score line aside )... Penrith are unbelievable.. Go boys bring it home

 

[cupid]

100% ball handling from both sides at Half time. Great game to watch unless your a Manly fan
