Panthers by 10. Would have beat them last time if Soward played the second half imo but if we lose I'll be happy to see the Warriors in the finals.

 

[MrAnonymous]

I think we will get up, should be to strong at home and Seg back, Penrith by 8.

 

[GongPanther]

Should win this.

But with Cronulla's effort from last night,I'm sure the Warriors are going to be as much up about this game as we will.

Josh Mansour and Idris have to be more aware of the ball security.

Playing the ball lessons at training this week should be a priority as some players are rushing it too quickly.

We have to remember,that all of these games starting from Thursday will be ultra competitive and I expect the players to heap plenty of pressure on the refs.

If that does occur in the weekend games before Sunday nights,expect some bizarre situations.

Every year,the refs come into calculations in too much of a degree.

This week,and beyond that will not be any different.

Panthers by 10

 

[Valheru]

Hopefully justice prevails and the Panthers win this. They definitely deserve the 4th spot over the other sides.

 

[to_ddeath]

Riff by 10. 2nd best match of the round IMO.

[shiznit]

Warriors should lose this...

So in typical Warriors fashion they will win well... :lol:

Just a side note... As this is the last game... If the Storm hammer the Broncos and the Raiders beat the Eels down in Canberra... The Warriors could still qualify for the finals of they don't lose by too much...

We will know by Sunday night...

 

[Evil_Mush]

Hoping that Warriors get revenge for Penrith denying them a consecutive Grand Final appearance in 2003!!! That was more gutting than the 60 point drubbing last year.

 

[Blues Riff]

They weren't good enough in '03. If they are now they'll be there.
Knocking us down to 6th is pretty pissweak revenge :lol:

 

[umina panther]

No one was stopping us in 03

 

[Blues Riff]

28-20 game sealed by a Galuvao try. I miss the Hair Bears.

 

[Phil McGrawhan]

A lot depends on which Warriors team turns up.
The ad lib play brilliantly ,defend well team that can blow any side away.
or
The above team but only for 55-60 mins.

or

The totally disinterested,rabble that would have trouble in an under 8 tournament.

 

[kia ora storm]

Here's the deal...if the Warriors are in it with 20mins to go they will win it with Johnson calling the shots.

Penrith don't have the attacking playmakers to pull off a last minute win.

 

[maple_69]

The Bulldogs, Broncos and Cowboys say hi. We've won more close games this season than any other team except Manly. Our style of play is much better suited to a close game. Look how low our f/a is even though we've consistently been in the top 4 all year. I think we'll get over them but so much will ride on the earlier games.

Hell Brisbane and Manly could win and we come 4th regardless leaving the Warriors with Melbourne to chase down. Going to be a great game either way.

 

[Pugzley]

We're screwed.

 

[jamaman]

Warriors by 40

 

[Juju]

Here's the deal...if the Warriors are in it with 20mins to go they will win it with Johnson calling the shots.

Penrith don't have the attacking playmakers to pull off a last minute win.

I'm a warriors fan. but thats ridiculous. Have you watched the panthers play this year?

 

[mxlegend99]

Soward has been great at closing games out for Panthers. He and Moylan have been great under pressure in close games.

Warriors could win and win comfortably. But not because of a lack of playmakers. Would be because of a depleted second row missing 5 players in Peachey, Cartwright, Taylor, Yeo and Docker. Latimore, Simmons and Wallace are also big losses as they're safe and consistent. Their replacements are not. Throw in Kite, John and Kingston and that's 11 players unavailable to choose from.

I think Moseley is in the team because we don't have the second rowers available not to use him. Not without killing the reserve grade sides chances in the finals.

That's not to say full strength we win for sure. I just think injury is forcing our team selection at the moment.

 

[WithTheDawn]

Going to be a great game to be at, should be close and intense. Finals style footy with lots to play for with both teams. Hopefully the Warriors can sneak home and into the finals.
