[TheFrog]

Manly can get on the turps from now until Friday night with complete safety. After all, they did just beat this opponent, surely they will do so again.

 

[Cherry_poppins]

Let's see yesterday's game in not so instant replay

Can Weirdler go hit up Peachy for a quote?

Can CartKiller show the same form?

Where exactly is Aussie Jim?

 

[pantherz9103]

Now that it's being played at a proper ground with both sides knowing exactly what they have to play for we might get a better indication of where the teams are at

 

[2 weeks]

How many Manly fans will make the massive trek to the game?

 

[Cherry_poppins]

Yeah it's good not having to hear a growl everytime a Penrith player farts

Could you imagine sea eagle noises for every time Cherry Evans gets a buck richer?

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Manly will do them slowly

Nah.

Penrith got it in the bag.

The Peach knows you guys are the better team.

 

[Clifferd]

Penrith SHOULD turn up for this game moreso than the Brookie game

Whether that'll be enough I dunno

Manly to me are the better team.

I'll go Manly by 4

 

[GongPanther]

That loss hurt us on the weekend. The players will be chomping at the bit to get at Manly.

s by 20 if we get back Moylan and Edwards.Us by 8 if those 2 don't play.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

I think we need Edwards or Moylan to be playing or otherwise I can't see us having enough in attack. Otherwise, if neither play, we need a belter from Cleary.

 

[axl rose]

Manlys forwards far to strong. To many marshmallows in the Panthers pack (Merrin, Tamou)

20-10 to Manly.

 

[Rabbits20]

I think we need Edwards or Moylan to be playing or otherwise I can't see us having enough in attack. Otherwise, if neither play, we need a belter from Cleary.

All this Moylan drama is disruptive imo and it'll see Manly come away with a hard fought 8 point victory.

 

[OldPanther]

Panthers should actually show up to this one. No telling how the drama will effect things though.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

manly by 6

 

[PenrithPanther45]

I also realised, even if we have Moylan or Edwards back, it will do next to nothing in solving our defensive issues if we turn up with the same paper-thin defence again like last week. Hopefully it was just a lack of effort since there wasn't heaps to play for.

People have been saying Blake had a shoulder issue so that would explain some of it.

 

[SBD82]

Come on panthers. Give all the neutrals a likeable team to cheer for in the second week of finals.

Hopefully Hook can figure out a way to remind your team that they are f**king talented, but they also need to work hard or their talent is wasted.

And someone put a rocket under tamou. Surely he is due for one of those games where he looks like a world beater.

 

[Grail]

Manly easily, Penrith to crumble in the opening exchanges and never recover. Manly 32 - 6

 

[TheFrog]

Could you imagine sea eagle noises for every time Cherry Evans gets a buck richer?

They could go down to the Corso and record seagulls fighting over a chip, but birdie squawking sounds from the PA doesn't have quite the same baroque as the Panther roar.
