[Mr. Shaman]

It’s no coincidence that the bald eagle is a type of sea eagle.

luscious locks - 84
Desmond’s Baldies - 2

 

[The_Frog]

My biggest regret about this match is that Rex Mossop isn't alive to see it.

 

[Valheru]

The game is at Brookvale so I will say the Panthers by less than 50

Carn the staines

 

[ACTPanthers]

I have a really bad feeling about this game... I honestly think it'll be close, or we'll lose.

No real reason as to why, may just be the pessimist in me.

Panthers fans may understand my position?

Panthers by 2 (hesitantly)

I'm with you. I have this anxiety no joke where I never feel comfortable that we will win, even during that insane streak last year. It probably explains why I came to terms of the GF loss really quickly, like on the way home that night quickly.

 

[GongPanther]

Was quietly confident about last weeks win. So this game will be played no differently to the previous three games. Simply wear them out in the first half with a probable 6 point lead, then really step on the pedal in the 2nd half and run away with it. Panthers by how long is a piece of string.

You would expect an improved performance from the Sea Eagles. I understand your position were just not accustomed to being expected to win week in week out.

It is very important the boys turn up, these sorts of games are just must win games.

The mark of the really good sides is being able to put the lesser lights away with a minimum of fuss, so i am hopeful we do just that on Thursday night.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Penrith will not be popular with the scoreboard attendant

 

[JamesRustle]

Brayden Williame scored a try and was in a winning side last week. In think Manly will go lower than that this week. Panthers to score 60 and win by at least 44.

 

[jc155776]

Have we had a team reach 80 in the modern NRL era?

 

[mxlegend99]

If both teams bring Round 3 form into this game it would be a record breaking victory. But it never works that way unfortunately.

Realistically Panthers should win comfortably. But probably not by a huge margin. They didnt put huge scores on Bulldogs or Cowboys. They were happy to cruise to victory.

 

[chrisD]

We are due to put a big score on, we've created far more chances than we have points to show for it. The side seems to be enjoying their footy too much to phone a game in.

 

[shear_joy9]

it's crazy how much attention Payten has gotten because an abysmal cowboys squad he inherited has gone winless and has JT and Morgan out injured. Then there is Des who is also winless, has f**ked up the clubs roster and salary cap, and is about to sign a contract extension.
Madness

These types of upsets were possible as recently as 2019. Trust me, the chooks were on the wrong end of a couple of them.

These new rules make it almost impossible though as any difference in talent is exacerbated.

Panthers will win easily.

 

[pantherz9103]

I also usually have a bit of anxiety before games like this, wondering will the Panthers of old will turn up and somehow mess up a game they should easily win on paper. That feeling has lessened though as lately they've shown the professionalism to at least win most of these games in solid if not always unspectacular fashion. Manly aimed up and gave Souths a tough game a couple of weeks ago but the Rabbitohs always had that bit of extra class to get the job done. I expect something similar will occur here.

 

[The_Frog]

Have we had a team reach 80 in the modern NRL era?

No. 74 is the highest. However, Manly's 70 points (to 7) in 1973 against us at our home ground would have been 84 to 8 under the current scoring.

Des has runs on the board in the form of 2 premierships. And he's a Penrith junior, which means he can do no wrong.
