Penrith should win but lol at their halves. Both pretty good young players but they should definately not be playing next to each other in the 6 & 7

What makes you think we're gonna win that piece of sh*t team that we selected??

Canberra by 30

4 reasons

- Canberra's away record
- Lincoln Withers
- Carney + Campese in the halves together
- Lincoln Withers

I think both sets of fans are expecting a rout by the other side which is amusing.

It's a hard one to predict IMO. In this weeks tipping I'll tip the Raiders because they're obviously my team, but if I was tipping impartially I'd have to go with Panthers just because the Raiders are so woeful away from home.

In saying that CUA stadium is a less daunting prospect than Energy Australia stadium and we did manage a win there last year.

On paper our halves should whip Sammut and Blair...if they don't questions will be asked and I'd expect one of them to be travelling up to Souths Logan in R3.

Very much an early play-off for the spoon.

Panthers by 8 at home.

raiders by 66

True.

Had Panthers beaten the Raiders at CUA stadium last year, the spoon would have gone to them and we would have finished one win clear.

Panthers are going to lose this one and should be odds on favorites for the spoon by a clear margin IMO. I'm tipping Raiders at 13+.

 

[I Bleed Green]

Raiders by 46.

You never freaking learn, do you? :roll:

 

[Raider_69]

True.

If penrith had of beaten us last year whats to say it wouldnt have been the rocket canberra needed to on and win the premiership?
absurd suggestion tbh.

Apologies sir. I will make sure I constrain my support and belief in my team as set out in the approved "Supporting the Team Guidelines, vol 7".

I wouldnt worry about it too much Skeepe, if he wants to be an old grandma and take some stupid form of moral high ground when some get a little over enthusiastic let him, at the end of the day he is the one left looking stupid.
