these are usually tight affairs but I think Panthers will have too many points and they will take out the Matty Rieck cup.

I'm changing my prediction.

I reckon SJ is going to step and jink us to victory. All pressure on the panthers and we are massive underdogs without Moyza. Those big wins against the minnows will do our self belief a world of good.

I think we're running comfortably with very little pressure on us. Scraping in wins early in the season to bank points so if we lost a game or two it wouldn't really hurt us much.

Sharks are definitely a good chance here though. They like playing Penrith and Johnson has found some good form. Beating up on shit teams still boosts confidence which can go a long way to performing well.

Yeah I just meant that they are expected to win this game - everyone is tipping them.

Agree that Panthers are travelling comfortably up the top and there's harmony in the ranks.

Looking at the teams named, 1-7 is pretty even IMO.

Panthers look way stronger in the forwards at the moment though.

Tetevano is out, he has been really solid for us off the bench. The young replacement Leniu is a talent but we may miss Tetevano i think.

sharks game plan is to coat dick fingers Williams hands in glue to try and stop him dropping the ball

that sharks bench is going fantastic. Full of other clubs rejects they look like they are playing for their careers each game. I think their enthusiasm is pushing fifita and woods to play better.

Williams would be a pretty good player if he didnt drop the ball so often, looks a bit like a mini Gal with his build.

My only prediction for the game is that Api will duck and weave through a fifita tackle and come with a break or half break.

I would be surprised if he didn't do it 5 times.

Fifita looks to have the turning circle of an 18 wheeler at this point.

Yep he looks a bit cumbersome sum and prone to trying grab a bloke when he’s caught on the back foot.
