[I Bleed Maroon]

Panthers with zero confidence

 

[TheFrog]

The Eels won't know what hit 'em.

 

[umina panther]

The Eels won't know what hit 'em.

Well if its only RCG and Mansour again they will

 

[This Year?]

Eels by 20. The Hayne plane has landed and the Silverwater inmates will be gunning in rejoice.

 

[FireFalcons1]

Penrith by 12

 

[Roosters rule]

Too much going on at Penrith in the off season to tip them early on. Eels by 12.

 

[roofromoz]

I have a bad feeling about this one...

 

[mxlegend99]

Panthers by 8.

After how badly Panthers played in the trials. They will be getting smashed at training and be fired up Round 1.... hopefully

Although anything less than that effort and Eels will destroy them. Hook struggles to fire a team up. Arthur certainly doesn't.

The Parramattas eels has always been the best game ever I’ve been going to this game

 

[Rhyno]

Eels by 60

 

[Pig Hunter]

Eels by 60

I can’t say enough how good the game has always been the best

 

[blaza88z]

How can you possibly tip the Panthers here, I think Parra are in for a big year.. Penrith? well, I can't see Griffin lasting the year

 

[Das Gupta]

Panthers by 2.

 

[ed-grimley]

Parra should win here but I won't be putting money on it.

 

[hineyrulz]

We should win this, so that means we have no hope whatsoever. Penrith by 7.

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Going to be 35 degrees at kick off..

Penrith, just. Or Eels by plenty... I really dont know.

 

[Valheru]

Eels at $2 are the value of the round, they will win comfortably

 

[ACTPanthers]

Eels by 12 (Yes, I had to self harm after writing that)

 

[pantherz9103]

That Eels team is good but certainly beatable and don't rate them as high as some. It's more a question of the impact of the two coaches, and whether or not the Panthers will continue with their predictable traits of last season, starting slowly in games and having to chase points in the 2nd half. From memory the Eels were starting games pretty well..

Penrith at home by 4. Not confident though.
