Obviously this is must win for the Tigers, if we lose and GC beat the Knights they'll be 3 points ahead which we won't overtake in 2 games.

The difference between these two teams last time was tedesco, if he was a panther they would have won. Brooks being back will help but I think teddy out will be too hard to overcome. We'll go down fighting but probably lose by 8.

Tedesco out will be too big a hurdle for the Tigers but they'll give it a crack. Penrith by 7

 

[footy75]

Penrith to cement a finals spot here.

 

[Clifferd]

Tigers to shock the world and win by 40

Can see a tight tussle but losing Tedesco will be the difference in the end

Panthers by 4

Panthers haven't won 3 in a row at any stage this year. Just when it looks like they are on track to do so. They drop an easy match.

No Tedesco should be enough to do it. But its the Panthers... the opposition and stakes on the line dont seem to matter.

Panthers should win. But i have no confidence at all.

 

[Clifferd]

Tigers $3.50 are juicy odds..we aren't that bad of a team without Tedesco

Remembering we only lost in the last 10 seconds our last game...

It's not just that we've lost teddy, it's that his likely replacement (rankin) is so, so terrible

 

[Hawkins]

Penrith in a close one

Penrith have been long odds on for this game since well before the Tedesco injury. That made the odds a tiny bit longer, though.

I can't understand it either. This is a desperate Tigers side with pretty damn good form over the past month or two. A mouth watering clash.

I think the Panthers have come a fair way since being embarrassed by this side a couple of months ago. The attack is more sorted. It's a case of whether we can keep the Wests backline quiet.

 

[ACTPanthers]

Would love to run away with this one, but the Tigers are no where near as poor as Newie - I think this one will go nice and close - Panthers by 2

 

[Whino]

This match will tough. Even without Teddy the Tigers will be pumped up for a last throw of the dice.
We should have enough in the tank to win. Lets hope we can win more than 2 in a row.

 

[ed-grimley]

Panthers can thank Ryan James.

 

[alien]

Penrith by heaps

 

[GongPanther]

It'll be something like 6all at HT.

Then the Panthers floodgates draw wide open.

Us by 24.

 

[forby]

Penrith by 1 would be a great result! A top 8 sealer!

 

[chrisD]

We need to do more than just win, we need to show we have something to offer in the finals.
