[Valheru]

I see the panthers are currently not in the top 8. This means the roosters will not be taking them seriously.

Panthers 14-10 or something similar.

 

[TheFrog]

I see the panthers are currently not in the top 8. This means the roosters will not be taking them seriously.

I see betting operators aren't taking the Panthers seriously either. $2.90 seems like exceptional value to me, for a match played at the Riff, when you've got a swag of Rooster players backing up, and the Panthers having found some form in recent weeks.

I'm expecting the Roosters to be disorganised and to return to Bondi having been the recipient of a good hard plucking.

 

[chrisD]

We need this more, at home off the back of our best performance of the year, hopefully we'll get it done, but can't be confident without Moylan.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Penrith are playing tough footy. So this'll be a tough match. We certainly have more class, especially with Moylan out, but whether that'll matter is another issue entirely.

Let's see how our players fare in Origin before making a call.

 

[mxlegend99]

Hopefully Mansour is back to help our forwards out. Roosters pack won't be as soft as the Bunnies. So his carries along with DWZ would go a long way to getting us started in good field position.

 

[Rhyno]

Roosters by 16

 

[ACTPanthers]

Probably just over-confidence from the spectacular game last week, but I'm going Panthers by 8

 

[TheFrog]

Roosters pack won't be as soft as the Bunnies.

The Bunnies weren't considered to be soft either, before meeting up with our unheralded pack.

 

[Unscrupulous]

Roosters by 14

 

[GongPanther]

WTF does having Moylan out have anything to do with this weeks game?

If people have forgotten,the side has been winning without him.

Panthers should win this providing there is no sad ball security,and the refs haven't stopped by the TAB on the way to the game like the refs did in the recent game V the Doggies.

 

[kia ora storm]

Chooks by 18..

 

[Unscrupulous]

Panthers should win this

Wishful thinking?

 

[Valheru]

Panthers should win this providing there is no sad ball security,and the refs haven't stopped by the TAB on the way to the game like the refs did in the recent game V the Doggies.

So it will be the refs fault if you lose?

 

[GongPanther]

Wishful thinking?

It'll be a much tougher contest than the Soufs game,and going on form,we are a very good chance.The Panthers need to consolidate their dominance early,and prevent the Roosters from gaining any foothold in defense,or attack in the game.

Easily the game of the round.

 

[mxlegend99]

If the Roosters Origin players bring their form from last night into the game. Panthers 13+ easily.

But I think they will come back fired up. Pearce especially needs to bounce back. Must hurt knowing his inclusion means NSW can't win a series. But without him they end an 8 series streak.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Panthers should win this...

Are you suggesting that you have the better team?

 

[jamaman]

Chooks to win

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

I would love to see Penrith win but sadly Rorters will be too strong

 

[Blues Riff]

Are you suggesting that you have the better team?

If he isn't, then I am. Us by a few points.
