Panthers & Roosters feeder clubs - NSW Cup:
PANTHERS v BEARS at Bluebet, Sat 1pm​

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

We’re gonna get our anus pumped full of smug

 

[Cogburn]

Let's hope the Penrith players are as cocky as their fans.

 

[Captain Apollo]

If my team gets beaten by less than double digits I'll survive (p.s. I never like to see my team lose so I can't say "I'll be happy"). This Penrith team have too much firepower all over the park.

 

[The_Frog]

Vital win for both sides this. Panthers having dropped two games with their stars out need to refloat the ship with them back. Roosters have lots of outs and have done well against the bottom two thirds of the ladder, apart from the Broncos, but haven't won against a top 4 side in 3 attempts. Should be a cracker before a Covid capacity crowd of 16,110.

 

[pantherz9103]

There's been a few downhill skiers in our two defeats without origin stars. Hopefully playing back at Penrith where we haven't lost since 2019 and with the stars back to lift the rest of the team we should get back to the form we know we can produce. The Roosters can still be pretty formidable even with their injuries so it's a danger game.

 

[Cogburn]

If the Roosters were at full strength this would be an epic game. If Easts win, it will be a win for the ages.

 

[skeepe]

Roosters by 20

 

[roofromoz]

May has been dropped quicker than... well, you know.

 

[Valheru]

With the obvious exception of radley, that is close to the best team we are going to be able to name for the remainder of 2021.

Verrills will ultimately be a starter and there may be some tweaking of the side with Sualli, Butcher and Hutch coming in at different stages but that is about as good as it is going to get.

 

[mozza91]

The battle for the adversity cup. Hopefully both sides can bring themselves to turn up and play.

 

[Westernised Panther]

If the Roosters were at full strength this would be an epic game. If Easts win, it will be a win for the ages.

Perhaps Round 21 might give us the game we want, with both sides being at full strength as much as possible and with no Origin interruptions.

 

[pantherz9103]

Tyrone May dropped I already feel better

 

[Exsilium]

Adversity + Smug
_______________ X Inconsistency=Rugba Leeg
Crackdown

 

[Valheru]

Perhaps Round 21 might give us the game we want, with both sides being at full strength as much as possible and with no Origin interruptions.

Unfortunately we will be, at minimum, missing approx 3-3.5M if our Cap for any given game the remainder of the year.

I know how open I have left myself for the inevitable "well that finally puts then under the cap" retorts.

Nah mate still abit over.

 

[SDM]

Why did Penrith make so many changes, they were getting close to a win?

 

[The_Frog]

If the Roosters were at full strength this would be an epic game. If Easts win, it will be a win for the ages.

Still a fairly strong looking side you've got. Not hard to see how they'd be 5th. I feel you'll have problems if you lose Tedesco or Waerea-Hargreaves from here on.

 

[GongPanther]

Be a torrid struggle for the 1st half with nothing at all in it, but the 2nd half should have us pulling away after a great effort by Easts. Us by 28-16.

 

[Westernised Panther]

Credit where credit is due.

That was a good one
