2020 R13 Sat - Panthers 28-12 Raiders @ Panthers

[The_Frog]

Raiders fans will be relieved to know their team are 8 hours into their journey and currently at Marulan having a quick break before pressing on. You can just make out Ricky in the background whinging to the proprietor of the establishment about the trip thus far.View attachment 40635

my missus (Parra fan) said the story makes no sense Paulo plays for the Eels

You spelt carer wrong.

 

[BadnMean]

At last... Penrif...

 

[AlwaysGreen]

You blokes keep talking about a bus. We're on our way to Penrith, for that we need the war rig.

 

[soc123_au]

At last... Penrif...

Thats Campbeltown. You still have 50 odd kms to go.

You know you are nearly there when this comes in to view.

 

[roofromoz]

Ha ha, I meant Papalií.

Story could be used the 33 times the Raiders have had to endure the trip north to Penrith since 1982, just interchange the names.

 

[GongPanther]

So far - travelled more than Penrith; don’t like the ref; Penrith’s soft draw; more injuries than Penrith.
What’s next?

Seems like some Raiders fans, not all mind you, are preparing more for a loss than a win. If they were confident of victory, you would think there would be more talk about the actual game itself. For me, its simply another game.

 

[GongPanther]

How does Ricky do it week in week out? Sitting at the front of that bus. Clipboard under his arm. A wry smile. 'Only 233 more kilometres boys...'.

The wheels on the bus go swish, they go beep, they go round...but they also speak. They say go, go Canberra. That's what keeps this team rolling, and Ricky knows it. That's why he smiles.

He smiles because, like Meninga, he is deranged.

My missus, (Panther fan) asked you to get back in the fookin' kitchen.

All jokes aside this is exactly what sticky is trying to avoid. The raiders are trying to drum up a victim mentality so the players don't play like it is another game because for them it isn't as they know if they lose they probably kiss top 4 bye bye.

They did the same thing before the roosters game and it worked.

It's another game for us as far as what we have been doing. Penrith don't have to resort to some kind of mindset gimmick from the coach to get us fully motivated. All we have to do is keep on what we have been doing all season, and Canberra can please themselves.

They will find out, just like Manly did last week, how much of a different football side we are.

I wish I had your confidence. I think this will be a very close game.

Someone was telling me last week before the Manly game that he wasn't confident at all in the game. I asked him what logic was he using to draw his conclusion. He said "Because we are due for a loss".

As far as I am concerned, any week can be a case for being "due for a loss", and sure this game will be no different.

But for me, I'm enjoying this season. And if being confident is a crime, I'm guilty as charged.

 

[Sparkles 2001]

Getting pumped for this game, will be a cracker

 

[BradParkerTheGoat]

In the absence of Charlie Staines, Gerard Sutton will score at least three tries for the Panthers tonight, amirite?

I just looked up the odds for this game that Skeepe will say "Try to Gerard Sutton of the Penrith Panthers".... its paying $1.01

They have had to suspend betting on that.

 

[Rhyno]

Raiders by 10

f**k

Rumours that Daine Laurie will debut tonight.

Confident he won't turn out a dud like the last Daine Laurie we had.

Or his usual "Penrith player" is a shit human". So obsessed with human waste.
