[TheFrog]

The Cows have a long and convoluted journey to Bathurst for this match, they are badly out of form, the weather will be quite un-Townsville like, and they will have little to no support from the packed house of 9,000 or so. So I guess they are specials.

Seriously, the Panthers are one depleted footy team, but their forwards are intact, and that is where the Cows need to get the upper hand to win this. It doesn't seem likely.

 

[footy75]

do or die for Cows now..

Panthers by 10

 

[FireFalcons1]

Penrith to win convincingly.

[Rhino_NQ]

I don’t even know anymore

 

[ed-grimley]

Penrith, but only because NQ have lost the plot.

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Think we lose this one...

 

[footy75]

Think we lose this one...

why....

cows are shit

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

why....

cows are shit

Morgan to Fullback, JT to control the entire game, and we have half our squad missing..

They have to fire sooner or later...

 

[TheFrog]

Morgan to Fullback,

Didn't see anything about Coote being injured. Surely they won't drop him?

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Didn't see anything about Coote being injured. Surely they won't drop him?

I heard his did his ribs...

 

[Vic Mackey]

You’d think panthers injuries will tell sooner or later? But with their pack and Maloney in such good form they’re hard to tip against. Panthers by 8

 

[Das Gupta]

Panthers pack should see them home. Panthers by 8.

 

[GongPanther]

A tight match with panthers drawing away in the final 15 minutes by 26-14.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Long journey for the Cows, wayyyy down on form and up against a Pennies side looking to solidify a top 4 spot. No chance.

Pennies by 18.

Do they actually know where it is?

 

[TheFrog]

Do they actually know where it is?

As long as the bus driver knows...

 

[ed-grimley]

As long as the bus driver knows...

It's keep driving south till you get to Sydney and turn right if he doesn't.
