Will be there with my Canadian housemate. He's been here for 18 months and from the first weekend he touched down he's been backing the Panthers. He goes home before round 20 so hopefully we can lift our game from the last game and take the win here, send him off on a high.

Panthers by 16...

 

[Rovelli]

Short turnaround for Parramatta will hurt and the Panthers will be rather fresh from Shayne Hayne giving them a nice helping hand on Sunday.

This could be the match where we see if Parramatta turn it around. It was a similar point last year where they took on the team running 1st/2nd (Bulldogs) and dismantled them 27-8 to really ignite their playoff run. They also had won on the Monday night at home prior to the Saturday game, as they have done this year as well.

I still think Penrith will bounce back, but does a win over this year's whipping boys get Parra going?

LeagueUnlimited.com Preview

Difficult to tell whether Parramatta have broken free of the shackles of mediocrity and if they actually did play well to beat the Cowboys last Monday, or were the Cowboys just horrible? Before you answer that, allow me to suggest that the answer is irrelevant because...

Luke Lewis is a big loss for the Panthers. Although Eels showed improvement on monday night, their performance has to be watered down a little because they were up against the worst defensive team in the league.

Tough one to pick, will say the HayneTrain rolls another week and the Eels win.

[Eaglestar]

No Luke Lewis evens it up a bit. Can't say Eels back after only beating Cowboys by 12. Rely to much on Hayne Panthers just got to shut him down. I'm sure they'll put up a fight but in this game. Panthers by 4

 

[pantherz9103]

Will be a very tough game. The Eels were far from at their best v Cowboys but they rediscovered some confidence in attack and Hayne found some of his best form. Without Lewis and Grant it will be tough. Hopefully the fact that its a Saturday night game at home will spur us on to a win. by about 8 points.

LATE MAIL

The Panthers and Eels remain unchanged, with Penrith to cut one bench player before kick-off.

[abpanther]

Lewis may still play

 

[chrisD]

I think we'll get 18K+.

 

[abpanther]

Any late mail on Lewis?

 

[DragonPunk]

I'm conflicted. I want Penrith to win cause I can't stand the hype if Parramatta win but if Parramatta win, the Dragons open up a lead at the top.

All things considered, Penrith by 2.

 

[Gaba]

dont think it will be a high scoring game or an entertaining one, but i think the panthers can contain hayne, and win.

 

[Big Mick]

Fair dinkum this traffic is f**ked. I've been stuck on the m4 for like an hour. Haven't moved for dead set 40 minutes. f**k I hate this state and it's stupid roads and lack of management. No police here for detours absolutely jack sh*t. Just saying get off as reseviour rd which there lights last 10 seconds. Dead set joke.

 

[skeepe]

Looking forward to this one. Need a Panthers win to help the Raiders out here.

 

[benntash]

Lewis playing???

 

[Cuppy]

Has Fox showed the teams yet ?
Any news on Lewis and B.Smith?
