[Rovelli]

Big game here for the Panthers. Sharks playing great on the road and know how to grind out the close ones. I like the look of the Panthers, playing exciting footy. Panthers by 6 or less.

 

[mxlegend99]

If Lewis is selected to play Origin along with Petero, this game will really test us. Those 2 along with Michael Gordon, our our most consistant players.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

we will be without Gallen, Bird and Simmons.

Possible that Kearney will miss out again due to injury.

 

[imasharkie]

Jarrad Maxwell is the ref

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Pennie Panthers to lay a smack down on the Wobbygongs by 4 points.

 

[Inferno]

5:30 and no sharks team? what the f**k?

Don't expect that side Inferno.

 

[Timmah]

Source for the side? Not on the Sharks side or appearing anywhere else...

 

[Timmah]

Rleague.com seem to think that's the side but it's not been seen elsewhere :?

 

[Panther_Daz]

NRL teams on foxsports had that team.

 

[McLovin]

I await Inferno's prediction before i head down to the tab...

 

[mxlegend99]

We've won 3 in a row, which is a new feeling as a Penrith fan. Looking at our bench... it's going to be hard to make it 4 in a row. Although our starting side is well ahead of the Sharks... and we have some guys who are desperate for first grade football on our bench.

I'm picking Penrith by 4... with very little confidence.

 

[murraymob]

its going to be a wet track.With rain predicted through to next week.The ground will be in great condition .Penrith spent a truck load of money on drainage under the ground 2 years ago.If it is raining on the day the game could turn into a forward battle .That would suit penrith more than the sharks

....

we are the arm wrestle kings.

if anything, a wet track keeps your fast men out of the game..who we cant compete with.

we would be much happier in the driving rain IMO.

 

[mxlegend99]

Wet weather will benefit the Sharks more then Penrith.

Firstly... our handling is terrible at the best of times.
Secondly... our points come from lightning fast and elusive backs.

If it comes down to a forward battle, i think the Penrith bench will struggle. We have 2 rookies and a guy who hasn't played first grade in 2 years.

Got the last couple of weeks wrong, but I actually cheated, changed my tip right before the game to the Sharks last week and got 8/8 for the round .

The sharks at 1-12 are very juicy @ $4, or if you're a little more conservative, the Sharks have a 6.5 headstart @ $1.90

Also a sharks penalty goal for first scoring play is good value @ $9.

 

[mxlegend99]

$5 on each team to open the scoring with a penalty goal would be a pretty safe bet.

With how wet it will be, both teams will take any shot at goal they can.

 

[murraymob]

MX the ground is in great condition.Provided it does not rain on the day it will be in the condition of a dry track Penrith have a very mobile pack.I am hearing penrith intend playing a open game. Having Rodney in the side opens up a lot of options .Penrith to win 1-12
