If Bryce doesn't play I think our defence is good enough here to give it a serious go. We of course have not won at AAMI Park ever IIRC and it is another milestone game with Smith overtaking someone or another for something which always spells trouble but I really hope we can build on last week's performance. Our attack inside the 20 is a concern but if our defence holds strong I think we have a shot. Penrith by 7

 

[Panther91-03]

Looking forward to this one even though the storm are the side that we can't beat on their turf since 2005. I feel we can finally break that curse

Panthers by 2

 

[Clifferd]

Penrith won on the weekend so that means this coming weekend they lose

Inconsistency to continue by them and storm to win easily 20+

 

[TheFrog]

Panthers chasing their 500th win in premiership matches here.

Storm a tough assignment in Melbourne, especially for us.

A win, however, would really kickstart our season.

 

[umina panther]

Melbourne too strong at home early in the season. By the finals we will be ready to beat them

If Melbourne play like they did against your rabble we will win comfortably. We've had 3 good performances in a row now, the inconsistency you wish was there hasn't been. We just played 2 f**king shit teams and flogged them(keeping them tryless) and 1 good team and lost by 2.

Lel looks like someone doesn't like having their team tipped against

Have a cool down little boy

 

[FireFalcons1]

This is the game of the round, I think this is going to be very close; However i think Penrith is finally due for a win down at AAMI park.

Penrith by 2

I'm not even expecting us to win, I just don't like you.

 

[chrisD]

We win. We need it and Melbourne will be down after that come back win this week, they won't play as bad as they did in the first half but won't have their usual application.

Games nsw have won with moylan at fullback 0/2

[ed-grimley]

Storm have lost their aura - Penrith by 20.

 

[Clifferd]

I don't think so, they were back to their best in the 2nd half with a well deserved kick up the ass by Bellamy

They were ordinary in the 1st half though, true

 

[moffla]

Terrible performance usually means a fired up storm the next week.

Panthers probably need the win more for a bit of confidence so it'll be a cracker. We'll be too good though, storm by 6

 

[GongPanther]

A game that will be fircely fought in the forward battle. I still think we are a little inexperience against a side as far as the halves combination is concerned,although Cleary made his first grade debut last year against Melbourne and played well.

The likes of TMM,Viliame Kikau concern me as far as big time match experience is concerned. TMM had a good game last week against a side that was always up against it. But his inexperience will show in this match if picked.

And I hope coach Griffin puts Whare back in the centre pairing. We'll be needing him to stifle the big and mobile Storm backline with either Peachy or Blake on the wing.

It'll be one of those two-way scorelines that either we win by a field goal,or Storm win by 6-10.

I'm tipping us to be really primed and prepared for this match,especially after the great defensive effort V Easts a fortnight ago.

Us by 1.

 

[betcats]

Whare has played centre every week since round 2.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Storm.

I don't think I'll tip against them all year.
