2020 R16 Sat - Panthers 30-6 Wests Tigers @ Panthers

[soc123_au]

Good to see the Panthers into their rightful position as favourites to win the comp.
I'm heading down to Panthers later to see if the 2020 Premiers t-shirts are available yet.

They sold out weeks ago. Early bird gets the worm. The 2021 ones are available for pre order though. Get in now they are selling like Meth on Church St.

Maybe I will just wait for the 3-peat version.

Astute decision. The design team is coming up with something special for that one.

My bums getting sore just thinking about the score

Great. Congrats Tigers. This is the literal kiss of death.

This game day thread has the possibility of being especially memorable

Honestly... Looking at every game for rest of the year the only game Panthers should fear losibg is the Eels.

But no team wins them all and some 'lesser' team will beat them. If its the Tigers atleast they're a decent lesser team. Fancy if it ended up being the f**king Broncos and/or Bulldogs who beat them. That shit would put them into the finals with no confidence.

But id rather have a loss before finals as theres just no way we can win that many in a row to a grand final.

 

[Fangs]

No Api. There are other injuries but this one is massive. Will struggle without him.

Must win for the Tigers. If they can't get up for this one then they deserve to be 9th for the rest of time.

Nah. Losing to us would be the nail in your coffin for 2020

CLICHE ALERT: We're due a loss

But I just f**king hope to god it's not this one... I couldn't stand the smug merkininess from some of their fans.

It might make Ivan tired?

Pretty sure he is sleeping as soundly as he has in years at the moment.

Good try.

We will have a loss sooner or later. I would prefer it now (but not against the W/T, I say this each and every week )rather than in the finals. Something of which Penrith are now locked in for.

Ivan is growing a mullet by the look of things.

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

To be honest, this is exactly the sort of game where we Jag a win.

I'll be as shocked as you.

and knowing how much W/T fans would gloat. I would HATE it.

We don't gloat against teams.

Just smug jerk fans of said teams.

Nah i think it's more the salty ones, especially with W/T faithful.

Never has more salt ever been spilt by W/T faithful after realising that Nathan Cleary was never ever going to be seen dead in W/T colours.

I think you fail to comprehend the issue many tigers fans have.

Ivan Cleary signed several players on big money who simply haven't delivered. Then he broke his contract and left those players behind.

I imagine any teams fans would be pretty negative about a scenario like that.

Why can’t we just discuss the game, not history!
Penrith should win if they don’t decide to rest players.

I don't want us to lose any of the remaining games but a loss to the Broncos would be the worst. They have the wood on us historically but there would be no excuses to losing them this year and it would kind of spoil the feel good mood because everyone has been laughing at them and piling points on them.

If the Tigers beat us they would gloat about it for a while thinking they have exposed Ivan but then most likely still miss the finals anyway. I would get over it because I don't really care about the Tigers. They are the ones who are trying to talk up a rivalry.

Because apparently some Tigers fans, just cannot for the life of them, get out of the past... It's actually a little weird...

I get it brother, I really do... But don't you think it's about time some of your lot move on? It's not like those players would be performing any better if Ivan was still coach, is it?
