NSW Cup - Panthers v Raiders as a curtain raiser to this match, 5:30pm at Bluebet Stadium​

 

[Smug Panther]

Panthers 13+

 

[GongPanther]

Should be the kind of workout we need just to keep us on our toes. It should be a lot closer than the markets and the fans expect. Us by 24-16.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

We will be crushed by the black tide on their way to 57 million wins in a row.

 

[soc123_au]

I hope the Sherpas are ready for the arduous trek up the hume.

 

[skeepe]

I don’t think we’re playing well enough to go up there and win. Not yet.

Playing a team on a similar level could be what is needed to get them playing better.

 

[nick87]

The smuggest team will come away with the win and RL will be the winner on the day

 

[Nealo 12]

I don’t think we’re playing well enough to go up there and win. Not yet.

Hopefully the refs don’t score too many tries for us !

 

[roofromoz]

Should be the most aesthetically pleasing match of the round with both teams wearing their heritage jerseys.

 

[BadnMean]

It's April & May, let the Eels & Pamfers ride high on their laurels.

 

[shear_joy9]

Hudson on Luai.
You know what to do.

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Forward battle is drool worthy. Would love for Tarps to be back but don't think Stick will risk him. Young needs to do a number on Kikau and Luai in defence if we want to win.

I thought this was a slab of smugness at first but geez we're out to $3. Very tempting given what we are capable of.

 

[Kilkenny]

Should be a $1-90 each of two. Toss of the coin job this one. Ref and bunker officials will probably decide it.

Haha man up and show some smug. We are favourites for good reason

 

[mxlegend99]

At least this should be a close match and not decided by halftime. Would be 2 undefeated teams playing if not for Raiders losing their entire bench against Warriors.

Raiders are one of the teams capable of matching or beating anyone. They were more impressive against Titans than Panthers were against Sea Eagles. I don't see how the betting isnt much closer.

agreed
Panthers playing a bit too well atm , we're not playing quite well enough atm

Things may change later in the year , but at this point , up there
Its Penrith by about 10

Kikau will probably just pick young up in one hand and eat him.

 

[84 Baby]

Kikau will probably just pick young up in one hand and eat him.

How will he be able to pick him up when he’s doing his best Rivaldo impersonation?
