The Warriors MUST rally here, you would think. If they allow Penrith to put 40 on them, their Kiwi fans should march down to the clubhouse and board the place up.

 

[Pugzley]

We got dis....

 

[Juju]

Oh my god. It's our clubs grand final this weekend.

Who would of thought that would be the case last October...

 

[Izz]

Panthers by 30.

 

[runatme]

cripple fight

Cleary coming back to Mt Smart. If the Warriors fold in this one then surely that would be the final straw.

Panthers haven't been too bad recently, they've been creating space out wide but not finishing it off. If there's one team that won't stop you from finishing off a backline movement, it's the Warriors.

 

[Juju]

I reckon Cleary is going to have them fizzing.

 

[matrightyeh]

tough game maybe warriors at home

Should be a close game, Panthers by 4 Final score 52 to 48.

 

[Aragorn]

neither teams know how to defend, so it should be a wide open game as long as the crappy weather stays away.

Should be a close game, Panthers by 4 Final score 52 to 48.

I think you're giving both teams too much credit in their ability to not bomb certain tries.

30-28 either way sounds about right with 3-4 bombed tries.

I have some hope for this game due to the Warriors poor form, but surely the Warriors are still favourites here. Look at the Panthers lineup now with Jennings out :crazy:Flash showed some nice touches at fullback last week. Cronulla will be happy...

Hopefully Cleary will have them fired up against his old club.

If Penrith get the spoon unlike in past seasons (2001 + 2007) it won't be due to dumb play or lack of effort or lack of application. It will be due to simply being a very ordinary side.

 

[Juju]

Warriors won't be 1 - 17.

 

[benntash]

Penny panthers 13+

 

[murraymob]

As a panther fan i was worried untill i seen TBA is playing .This must strike fear into a opposing team.It is a coaching master stroke Cleary at his best lol

According to the mytips website Penrith are $3.35 to win. Jesus Christ, I didn't think we would be that far out.

Still tipping us.

EDIT: my post just automatically changed *Oz*tips to "mytips". Why?

not sure but may have something to do with gambling

Mckenna will have The Warriors fired up at home for the fans (and his job) 13+
