'14 // R1 // Sat // Panthers 30-8 Knights // Sportingbet

[GongPanther]

I remember 2011 in the first round at home to the Knights when we were absolutely deplorable and got fisted 42-8.

I hope Gus uses that embarrassment as a red rag to really get our team riled up.

The only concern I do have is the defensive positional play in as far as players getting their communication on song.

If that plays well for this round,I can see a great start to the season in getting at least 4 or 5 wins out of our 1st 6 starts.

But it has to start next week.

Panthers 24-16.

I genuinely rate the Panthers. Every year there's a team that goes on a big climb up the ladder and I rate Penrith enough to think they'll push for a top 4 spot.

Ummm yeah, they nearly made the 8 with a squad lacking in depth and a poor run with injuries to key players last year. Most league observers believe they should improve on 2013 as they have a much improved first 17 and very, very good depth.

You do realise you have a habit of repeating what others say don't you Captain Obvious?

That said I believe Panthers fans might appreciate it if you start tipping the old and tired team in this game as your record for tipping winners is deplorable.

I am sorry I just don't see the panthers doing anything this season. Terrible team.

Last season I averaged 4.2 correct tips a week.

So sorry. Maybe you'll do better this year?????

That'd be good for a 12 team comp.

That's more than 50%. I got more right than wrong.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

give the panthers a few rounds to gel together, given the knights have no mullen and the panthers do have soward it will be low scoring 14-10 to newcastle

 

[Card Shark]

That's more than 50%. I got more right than wrong.

You may just scrape into the top 8 with more wins than losses. ;-)

How did you arrive at the number 4.2 BM?

How did you arrive at the number 4.2 BM?

An average over 26 rounds?

I averaged 6.5 so feel free to sit the f**k down whenever you like.

Bunniesman : 5% more accurate than tossing a coin.

I think you mean .2 of a percent more accurate.

 

[Card Shark]

Bunniesman : 5% more accurate than tossing a coin.

& that's considering his team had a successful season.

Lucky rabbits won most of their games or he'd be less than 1/2.

I suppose that would match with the rest of his fearless predictions.

 

[umina panther]

Its all good to take the piss out of BM guys.....but he's in here f**king over my team again and we struggle enough without him

 

[Swarzey]

In this time of no Mullen, we need all the help we can get...even if it means reading BM's rubbish.

So please, continue oh wise wizard of the lols.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

While I don't have as high an opinion on the 2014 Panthers as some, I do like them in round 1. I think both teams will have issues while their spines gel early on so this one should be interesting.

 

[natheel]

Penrith at home too hard to pass up but Wallace and Soward brand new combo may take time to click 100% so I'm taking Penrith but not confidently

 

[Pugzley]

Oh and before I forget chaps, THANK GOD THE FOOTY'S BACK ON !!!!!!!!
