Was that Rusty collecting the Oscar for making the NRL believe that Souths we’re conducting their own internal investigations surrounding Burgess shenanigans?

Would have been interesting to see how Penrith would have fared if the NRL had any balls and banned Nathan Cleary for the season over his covid breach and the subsequent lies.

While we are dreaming it would have been interesting to see how Melbourne and QLD fared if Cam Smith was banned for life for signing 3 contracts at once.

About is interesting as souffs would have been in 2014 if GI was rubbed out for dv. Or this year if Cody Walker was out for being a flog on video. Glass houses M9, glass houses....

A smuggy lol@souffs

Love the muck rakers. Thing is the muck that they have on their faces is real shit.

Walker was.....

 

[Mr Spock!]

Rabbits are underdogs and this will be a cracking game.

The Panthers 6 is the real key.

Walker was.....

So was Nathan. I meant rubbed out for the year as moocow or whoever it was suggested should have happened.

It's all pie in the sky anyway. The teams named on Tuesday will include Nathan & Cody & hopefully we get a fantastic game.

I think both 6's will have a huge say on this result one way or another.

 

[Mr Spock!]

I think both 6's will have a huge say on this result one way or another.

Both 9s will as well.

Both are form attacking hookers.

There is good match ups across the park. I think we have the edge in the middle & thats where I think we win. If either side is off their game even slightly the other will destroy them. If they both fire it will be so hard to shut down, neither team is one dimensional & has threats all over the place. For a neutral this could be one of the games of the year, for you & I & the rest of the Panther/Souths fans it's likely a heart attack in the making.

 

[magpie_man]

This will be a cracking game but I think Penrith's superior forward pack and bench will give them the edge, even without Kikau.

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

Keep underrating Souths pack. Been great listening to the media and all the experts telling me our pack won’t be able to match it with the opposition these last three weeks because we don’t have any big names beside Burgess and Murray only for us to come out on game day and blow these opposition packs off the park.

Roosters, Knights and Parra were all going to run over us, only for our pack to dominate all three games.

Metres run, post contact, offloads, line breaks, we’ve dominated the lot.

Keep writing us off without actually looking at the stats though, it’s great.

We can hold our own with any pack in the competition and we’re only going to improve next year.

Pants by 10.
Expecting a close one but the Riff have come too far to go backwards at this crucial stage.

 

[The_Frog]

Roosters, Knights and Parra were all going to run over us, only for our pack to dominate all three games.

The Roosters weren't even trying.

Keep writing us off without actually looking at the stats though, it’s great.

The stat that is impossible to ignore is the 13 competition points difference between these teams.

 

[lockyno1]

Actually tipping the Rabbitohs. Kikau being out for being dumb may well be the difference. Rabbits by 4.

Roosters, Knights and Parra were in a tailspin to the time you played them. Their collective form was not what solid by a long shot.

Here now is your team's chance to prove itself against a wall to wall solid team that are humming. Granted, our last game v Easts was a little below par performance, but we'll get that crappy win out of our system, and it should be business as usual by Saturday.

If you do a number on us...you sods better win the GF.

Anyone have any luck getting Cat 1 lower bowl? Ticketek spat out Level 4 for me across 3 different devices when I tried getting tickets right on 10am. Can't think they would've sold out that quick...

 

[Valheru]

Panthers for me.

Souths are playing well but fi they start the same way they did the last 3 games Penrith will get out to a lead that they won't run down.

That will be the key. They also have to play for 80 minutes. They did against the Roosters...but the two finals games they have played for about 50 minutes and clocked off for 30. They can't do that against Penrith.

Tipping Souths myself.
