2022 FW1 QF Fri - Penrith 27-8 Parramatta @ BlueBet

Time to put little brother back in his box.

We’ve been in a Box for 36 years, a bald pine one

Actually think the loser may get a softer run into the GF here

You could argue they would have a softer prelim... problem is they likely meet Storm in week 2 so they also have a good chance of going out in straight sets.

Parra have the wood over PENWHIFF this year.

They can do it again.

Unless they pick up some injuries I doubt Storm worry either of them in Sydney

Not sure I agree there.

They would both go in as favourites but Hughes was missing last week against Parra and they get very close to winning that game IMO if he played.

Can’t agree with what you’re saying. The hardest thing for Parra this finals series is going to be winning back to back games. If they lose this week they probably have to beat the storm then the cowboys/sharks and then the panthers.

Thats a near impossible task IMO.

One of the more higher profile clashes in the start of a very exciting series so you know what that means?

Phone video footage of a player from either team doing something stupid that's a few years old that somone has been sitting on until now to release will appear on thursday

If Souths don't get there I hope these two teams meet in the big dance. We haven't had a true western suburbs grand final since 1986.

panthers, but won't be surprised by a feels win

The Eels premiership window shuts on Friday!

I'll big dance you.

When did it open?

 

[GongPanther]

Insane a finals game being played at a 22k, most fans rather at Accor Stadium. Can have 50k.

Stop with the brainwashing bullshit from the usual bell-end journos.

 

[GongPanther]

Should be moved to Commbank for a bigger crowd

We will have a bigger and better stadium than yours in a few years time. Your stadium is now "old school". The Roosters home ground is now ATM the jewel in the crown. And when Penrith Stadium opens, it will be the newest most technically advanced stadium in the world.

Oh, and BTW, Penrith by 42-18.

 

[GongPanther]

When did it open?

Year after next. Gotta get our hat trick of GF wins first.

 

[GongPanther]

If Parra win I can't see them defeating Souths/Roosters in a prelim, if either of those two get that far.

So by your logic, if they beat the best performed team, three times in this current season, they won't beat those two much inferior sides?

 

[GongPanther]

Plenty of hype around Parra's recent record against Penrith, and plenty of pressure on Cleary coming back after a significant lay-off. It's not origin though, so i think he'll handle the pressure and Pennies to have the ugg boots up next weekend

Could get UGGly either way. More wearers of Uggies in Parra than Penrith, which are mostly made in Newcastle.

 

[GongPanther]

I got a text form a mate saying he saw a high profile Penrith player having dinner at a restaurant with a Bulldog offical

hope it doesn’t distract the Penrith playing group too much

We've had players leaving en mass for the past three years. Life cracks on buddy.

 

[GongPanther]

I take this is one of a series of steps towards suicide?
