[FireFalcons1]

Penrith is going to get a roll on now and take a lot of confidence after that stunning win.

Panthers by 16+

 

[Clifferd]

Newy were very impressive however Penrith were just as impressive in their comeback win

Toughest game to pick. I'll go Pennies just

 

[TheFrog]

You know what you're going to get with the Knights. They'll put in a maximum effort and make the opposition work hard to win. They will get ragged if the opposition gets away from them, though.

The Panthers, on the other had, are quite the enigma. They've had clearly the better of the second half in their last 3 games after having found many new and novel ways to concede tries in the first half each game. They'll put a score on the Knights if they play for 80 like they did in the second 40 last game. If they only do it for 40 once again, they might still put a score on the Knights, as happened in this game last year.

 

[Das Gupta]

Who ever wins on Sunday added with the bye the following round will have 3 round streak without a loss!

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Reckon we have the advantage in attack to run away with this late after a tough first half. Penrith by 16

 

[Hawkins]

Panthers.

It was fun to see that comeback.

And naturally I now hate the Knights.

 

[matrightyeh]

either team under 5

 

[ed-grimley]

either team under 5

Agree - I think.

 

[mozza91]

We got dis. Payback for the raping we copped in Round 4.

 

[GongPanther]

Form, patchy albeit solid at times,will see us take the advantage of a very quick opening to the game.

Provided we simply play our way into the game for the first 10 minutes instead of trying to win it after 20,we should steadily pull away from Newcastle in the 2nd half.

Pacing ourselves has been our winning formula in the past.Us by 14.

 

[Nice Beaver]

Panthers by 14

 

[Buzzard Breath]

We should win. Panthers by 6.

 

[Todd Hoffman]

Knights fans will be delirious if they can win 2 in a row. Penrith have been starting slow so it will be interesting.
A close game I predict unlike their earlier meeting.

 

[ACTPanthers]

Even with the comeback win on the weekend, I still can't be confident at the moment - Knights aren't playing badly, and could easily put some points on us in the opening half given our slow starts - I have a strong feeling we're going to get beaten here, but only by a small margin - Knights by 1 in GP

 

[Card Shark]

Panthers to reach a new low

 

[pantherz9103]

If we can start a game reasonably for a change we should win this but still not super confident

 

[umina panther]

Panthers by 20 if the forwards give a f**k and have a go from the first minute

 

[JamesRustle]

Newcastle by 7.
Panthers to revert to crap as they don't get to play a gutless team this week.

 

[Rhyno]

Knights by 6
