This is the biggest game of our season, Whoever wins this will most certainly play finals footy.
Both teams has so much to play for but i think the Panthers will just manage to win since we have more momentum coming into this game.

Panthers by 6

 

[Das Gupta]

If Penrith are a true top 8 team they will beat the Cows.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

If Cows frustrate us in defence they win. All their injury concerns though should see us hopefully scrape home.

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Anyone know who is out from the cows?

 

[TheFrog]

The Cows lack flair in attack but have a serious forward pack. With Moylan back I'm expecting to see some ball movement from the home side. Like the last five games, this is must win for us.

 

[OldPanther]

I'm really looking forward to this game. We'll be against a well coache team who put 110% in no matter what. Good test.

 

[natheel]

Cowboys will throw a lot more at panthers than Tigers did but they have some injury concerns. If Martin plays cows by 2

No chance that low coward fronts up imo

 

[GongPanther]

Anyone know who is out from the cows?

Antonio Winterstein (hamstring), Gavin Cooper (calf)...and Martin has a leg problem which is a day to day issue.

We don't win this one,we definately do not deserve a place in the finals.

Us by 8.

 

[Hawkins]

I think the cowboys will win and I need the cowboys to win.

 

[Nice Beaver]

Panthers, but I reckon there will be a bee's dick in it.

 

[Vic Mackey]

i thought panthers but then i remembered that paul green blasted the refs this week so the panthers will get hammered in the penalties

cows by 6, the penalty count that is

panthers by 4 on the scoreboard

 

[TheFrog]

the panthers will get hammered in the penalties

That already happened in Townsville. Not one to complain though, they even out over the season unless you're the Broncos, and we dropped way too much pill that game.

Oh and the Cowboys won the penalties 9-7 last week.

Bullshit, you were the FIRST one to complain

Like Prince Planet when the guy on his home planet forgets to pull the lever to charge him up. Things just don't work the same any more. (You have to have been a kid in the 1960's to understand this analogy).

 

[mxlegend99]

Panthers have won 5 in a row but not really looked in form at all through that period. Cowboys ended our last winning streak and I feel like this is the toughest game we have for the rest of the year.

If Moylan plays I think we are a better than 50% chance. But without him I think the experience in the spines will get Cowboys home against us.

It's the price you pay for winning the comp...everyone is worth more and someone has to go. It appears you made the right choice. Aussie Jim is about the most unloved of all Panthers with the local fans. It might change if he lives up to his reputation and pricetag here though.
