Ill go out on a limb for Penrith.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Jennings vs Folau!

 

[mxlegend99]

I voted Penrith. We have the potential to give the Storm a good run for their money. I just fear what will happen if we play as we did against the Raiders.

 

[Cletus]

I went for Penrith because I hate Bellamy. Hatricks for Jennings and Gordon.

 

[kia ora storm]

Storm by 18...Cronk first try scorer.

 

[Geohood]

Didn't think that over 5 other ppl would be as crazy as me lol

 

[mxlegend99]

I can't believe how many people have voted for the Panthers. The last time i remember people backing us for a massive upset was against the Sea Eagles last year... and we actually managed to pull it off.

I think this will come down to whether or not Craig Bellamy rests any of his players.

 

[murraymob]

it could come down to how desperate penrith are.Melbourne are thinking of the semi finals and may not be fully switched on.Penrith has to throw everything at them.

 

[Knights_Premiers]

Jennings vs Falou will be the feature of the match but regardless of who plays the better of the two Melbourne will win comfortably. Storm 13+

 

[choc_soldier]

Storm in a canter.

 

[steaming stormer]

Won't be resting any players. We have a minor premiership to win! Hard to gauge Penrith though - after round 2 or 3 , I vowed never to tip them again this year, then they show a bit of form for a while, then come out like they did against Canberra.
In the end I expect Melb to be too strong, but could be a tight one at CUA

 

[Caged Panther]

melbourne to put at least 30 on us

 

[mxlegend99]

Given Melbourne have named a full strength team minus their injured players... they're taking this game seriously and that will end in trouble for the Panthers.

I was hoping Craig Bellamy would see this as a good opportunity to rest some of his key players.

Panthers by 20 Jenko to back a hatrick possibly hand a few to roons and wesser will get a try

 

[pantherz9103]

I like the optimism of some people here. If Penrith stop giving penalties away to piggy back teams down the other end and don't give away tries from knocking the ball on in their half (like v Bulldogs!) they have a chance to beat the storm. We must have most of the ball to win. If we have to defend too much then we're no hope to be honest.

Not now that Manly have given us a sniff to win the minor premiership. These are always danger games with the risk of complacency setting in, but i don't think the Storm will let that happen this week with a 3rd MP up for grabs. I reckon the Panthers could make us work for it though.

Wish i could be that optimistic about our chances. I'm actually thinking if we lose by less then 20 we've done a good job.

Don't think it'll have to much impact to be honest, with the Storm being an out of town side and alot of Penrith people being lucky to be home from their jobs in the city by 7 the crowd could go lower than that which turned up for the bulldogs game.

Wonder if they'll do this for the manly game.
