[I Bleed Maroon]

Penrith have way too much to play for, but the home ground advantage will make it close.

 

[pantherz9103]

Even if Penrith win this, can't see them beating Roosters and will struggle v Knights. Relying on favourable results elsewhere if they want to make the 8.

Cows by 8

 

[TheFrog]

The Cows are just waiting for the season to be over. Next year they'll make the top 4 because they'll have a new stadium. Cows v Titans would be a good match up right now.

 

[grouch]

No Taumalolo = no hope

 

[Vic Mackey]

Fairly simple for me. If Talumalolo plays I’ll tip cowboys, otherwise Panthers

 

[ACTPanthers]

We'll lose, because we shouldn't...

I honestly hope we don't make the finals this year - I don't think the players deserve the hype that comes with playing finals footy - I just hope that IF we do make it into the 8 at the end of the season, Ivan makes sure the players know that this season has been absolutely piss weak for the most part.

 

[GongPanther]

Panthers have to (again I say) sharpen up their first 15 minutes, and let Cleary control the offence in the red zone with Maloney GTFO of the way.

This is basically a semi-final for us, so e need to be right n song for this match. Lose it, at least the lower grade players can hopefully get their players back.

Because of the desperation, us by 28-14.

 

[lynx000]

Cows hopefully to fire up for Scott and give it to the Panthers.

 

[Tipster]

Cowboys to provide the old war horse Scott a fitting send off.

 

[pantherz9103]

Interesting the comments about saying we don't deserve to make the 8...Well the only real reason for us to make the 8, is to keep improving our historically poor record of finals qualification, which is about 1 in every 4 years and make the finals 4 times in a row for the first time. Once again, we are (based on our form throughout the season) bugger all hope of actually winning the comp, which is ultimately what it's all supposed to be about.

cows just in this

 

[Miller was a legend]

Cows by 8

 

[GongPanther]

Sharks and Broncos fans naturally going for a Panther loss.

 

[TheFrog]

Cows hopefully to fire up for Scott and give it to the Panthers.

If the Cows can fire up now their fans will be entitled to wonder why they couldn't earlier.

 

[blaza88z]

I'd love Penrith to lose but surely they win this, this is basically their season against a team whose season ended quite some time ago

 

[Tipster]

Clifford out but JT back

 

[hineyrulz]

Are the Cows wearing these jersey's as punishment for another shit season???
