2021 R5 Fri - Penrith 30-10 Canberra @ BlueBet

[BadnMean]

Gees you've got a stacked forward pack if you've got Guler, Hors & CHN in NSW Cup.

I don't think they'll be in NSW Cup for long. At some stage Lui, one of Havilii or Starling, even Sia will be hard pressed to hold them out.

$3.10 for a Raiders win, get on it. Even Manly are shorter odds this week.

Api and Edwards out makes this interesting. With them I don't think Canberra get close

I don't get how Raiders are such outsiders. They have a full roster to pick from don't they? Looks stronger than any roster Panthers have faced yet atleast. Bookies are taking the piss having Panthers such clear favorites when they're missing Api and Edwards.

All Raiders need to do is put up bombs all night and pressure Crichton and Staines. Going to get a few results like Tigers did over Eels.

While we played Storm, their side had a few missing so I see this as our biggest test so far.

Bookies don't take the piss. They assess the likelihood of each result given the information available and the money they are holding. It is imperative to their livelihood that they get it right, unllike the twits who tip on TV or in the paper. A team with 21 wins from their last 22 games is going to start favourite at home against anyone provided their side is stable. The Raiders recently crumbled against one of the lesser sides and face a much sterner test here.

I'm thinking they will go to To'o's side with the high ball and put on a lot of striping the ball tackles.

Sell out tonight. BlueBet Stadium will be jam packed with smug.

The more I look at this the more I am leaning towards the Raiders.

Panthers have beaten the golden trio of Cowboys, Dogs and Manly whilst the Raiders have beaten Tigers, Sharks and Titans. The latter triumvirate is a more difficult prospect than the former. Of course, the panthers also beat the Storm so full credit there.

Raiders will keep things tight with their defence so this is a real coin toss for me.

Raiders would be undefeated this season if not for losing their entire bench against Warriors which would almost certainly be a loss for any team. Raiders come into this game at full strength or with everyone available atleast.

3 of Panthers 4 wins are over sides with 0 wins. Everyone is beating them. We have been one of the best teams this season. But this is by far the most difficult game we will have had when you consider the players Storm were missing and we now have Edwards missing on top of Api.

Cheeky $100 on the raiders, couldn't resist the $3.10

I reckon multi that into Papali’i anytime tryscorer. And then abuse one of the players when you don’t win.

Insane odds for what should be a close game. Definitely be a good one to boost some multi odds aswell

Manly are playing a seriously depleted Warriors. They'll probably win.

 

[Nealo 12]

Ricky being off the sideline and coaching from atop Mount Boyce will make it hard to get the interchange right this week

Well he should get great 5G coverage for the full time textas from up there!

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