2017 R4 - Panthers 40-0 Knights @ Pepper

[Clifferd]

12 years ago Newcastle ventured to the Riff on the back of 13 straight losses, the last of them being 50-0 at home. Penrith weren't much better, 5 wins from 14 after having been one of the favourites early on. The Knights took home the bikkies that night after trailing pretty much throughout. There's one big difference to tonight's game though. Newcastle in 2005 had Andrew Johns. It was his first game back after breaking his jaw. He'd been out almost all of 2004 after doing an ACL as well.

The Knights would win 8 of the last 11 but still got the spoon. The Panthers would win 6 from the last 9 to miss the finals by one game.

Thanks David Middleton

personally think knights by 10, followed by a 5k crowd by the riff faithful

Problem with repeating ourselves, have we?
Middo doesn't come cheap, so you get me instead. I could have mentioned the result in the last round.
The crowd estimate to be much closer than the result estimate.

Penrith have named debutant CHN to start in the backrow.

The gripe coming from club patrons around my way is the meat draws have been somewhat affected being that the 6:00 pm kick-off colludes with the draws.

I bailed at 3 just to make sure. Can't trust people to not crash on the M1 in the wet

 

[Munted]

What's with this hiku on the bench shit?
Does peach shift to the back row and hiku does hiku things as center?

 

[GongPanther]

We need to raise money for the Penrith & Parra coaches so they can afford razors.

You should be praising the timeslot if it justified you bailing from work early on a Friday afternoon!!
