If we play like we did against Souths and eels are still missing Norman, I'd be picking a 13+ win here...

 

[Rhyno]

Anything less than a 30 point Eels win will be a let down

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

This is probably Penriths last chance to get on a winning run to give them a shot at 8th spot. They'll be up for this I reckon. Parramatta are no chance with that F/A

 

[MrAnonymous]

Meh who cares, Even if we do win the rest of the games this year we might still miss the 8 and we're no chance of pulling that of anyway.

We should win.

 

[mxlegend99]

Supposedly not expecting anyone back but will be missing Robert Jennings atleast ontop of other injuries. Robert has been pretty average so I doubt our 7th or whatever choice winger would be much worse on performances delivered. Hell we might even be better off having an actual winger picked in position.

Plus the Eels are pretty shit. If we show up I expect our reserve grade side to win by 20.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Simmons was close to playing this week so I'm guessing that it's the same side with Simmons in for Jennings. Something like a 32-16 win is what I'm expecting.

 

[ACTPanthers]

If I see Blakes name in the team list this week I'm going to be sick

 

[mxlegend99]

If I see Blakes name in the team list this week I'm going to be sick

Don't look then. He's going to be there.

Injuries:
Dallin Watene-Zelezniak - Season
Jamal Idris - Season
Peter Wallace - Season
Brent Kite - Season
Dean Whare - Round 25
Matt Moylan - Round 25
George Jennings - unsure but not this week according to Cleary
Robert Jennings - a few weeks atleast you would think
David Simmons - no idea

We might get Simmons back, but he just replaces the injured Jennings. Who is going to replace Blake if no one else is back? Cleary hasn't dropped him yet. Won't happen anytime soon. Not until we get some troops back.


Simmons might not even be back so it could mean we're digging even deeper to cover injuries

 

[soc123_au]

Ivan was going to name a witches hat as a replacement for Blake this week. Unfortunately he dropped it getting it out of the boot of the car & it has sustained a 3 week injury.

 

[pantherz9103]

Will Ronnie Palmer ever be held accountable for the injury toll? FMD

Also drop Blake, ANYONE is preferable to Blake!

 

[pantherz9103]

This is probably Penriths last chance to get on a winning run to give them a shot at 8th spot. They'll be up for this I reckon. Parramatta are no chance with that F/A

First priority is to avoid the spoon. Just 2 points above the tigers, titans and knights now

 

[GongPanther]

With no real pressure on the Panthers to make the top 8,the incentive is now to avoid that dreaded spoon.

And the Panthers have a great record in Darwin so a win of at least 40+ is on the cards.

 

[lafai]

Panthers by 24

 

[GongPanther]

Can't wait to see Leilani Latu run around again.

Reminded me of Civ when he first burst on the scene.

 

[mxlegend99]

From this (r1):
1. Matt Moylan
2. George Jennings
3. Jamal Idris
4. Dean Whare
5. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak

To this:
1. Will Smith
2. Josh Mansour
3. Lewis Brown
4. Isaah Yeo
5. Waqa Blake

Only player missing Round 1 is the only player available this week in the backs. Next week it will probably be weaker again. Semi Radradra is going to have the biggest game of his career.

 

[Doomednow]

Hey look a game we might have a chance in.

 

[jamaman]

must be eels turn to win

 

[kia ora storm]

Penrith by 2..

 

[ACTPanthers]

Eels by 8 - I know it's bad, but I have zero confidence.
