The Tohs are starting to run into a bit of form, albeit against cellar dwellers. This will be more of a test. If we can't get this done it makes last week a waste.

 

[GongPanther]

Us by 12 in a great game.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Souths doing what Souths do. Beat up on the shit teams and celebrate like they’ve won the comp, then come up against a half decent team and get done.


Panthers by 7

 

[pantherz9103]

Need to back up the special and rare win against the Storm with another good performance and win against the Bunnies who have built some combinations and confidence with two pretty easy wins. I think our forwards can get the better of theirs and they'll need to because the likes of Cody Walker and Latrell Mitchell usually play pretty well against us.

[Walk On Home Boy]

Souths with much more creative halves but Panthers with a better forward pack. Interesting game. Souffs by 8.

 

[GongPanther]

Thank Christ the NRL for transferring this game to Kogarah Park. After last weekend, anyone playing on that surface were lucky not to have a bad leg injury.

 

[Silent Knight]

Panthers to remain in the top 4 with a convincing 10 point win.

 

[NewySteel]

Could potentially be a great game, should go a long way to showing where Souths are as a team at this point

 

[Rodney Rude]

This will be a good test to see where Souths are at. 2 big wins against 2 of the weaker teams but coming up against an impressive Panthers outfit.

Penrith by 4

 

[Valheru]

I think souths will be too fresh here. Panthers have had a brutal fortnight and will be a touch off.

Souths by 8

Playing for the Neil Baker Trophy, which is in the shape of a boot slotting yet another field goal.

Hopefully the winner doesn't drop the trophy.

Ron Willey was a proven coach at multiple clubs, but I'm damned if I know what he saw in this bloke.

I think souths will be too fresh here. Panthers have had a brutal fortnight and will be a touch off.

Souths by 8

Both sides played last Friday, s no difference in fatigue if there is any. Panthers have named the same side from the win V Storm which is more than a plus.

It should be a good, close exciting game, but our defence has been very sound which should get us home. And who knows, we might even get a restart 6.

 

[shear_joy9]

Hoping to see a high scoring game. Souths can be electric in attack when the spine clicks and also leak like sieve in defence.

Penrith look good in attack when Cleary stays out of the play. He’s the kind of person that would have a Ferrari but never drive it above 60km/h

One thing I don’t get is why this is on Thursday.
Surely and I mean surely this is better than the Roosters pummeling St George on Friday

 

[ACTPanthers]

If we win, it's because we are awesome

If we lose, it's the refs fault...

(just getting in before others do)

I don't think better comes into it when Nine are allocating timeslots. Apart from better for them of course.

Dragons-Roosters is usually a marquee game but the Roosters are are so strong at the moment it's not good for the game.
