[Smug Panther]

Panthers 13+

 

[JLA]

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

Yer and most of the people complaining are the ones that wouldn't go anyway

It's just the big games especially one between two rivals shoukd he at the bigger stadiums. Make much better atmosphere.

 

[Vic Mackey]

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

 

[mxlegend99]

Honestly don't think the top 8 could have worked out any better for clashes that could go either way.

I don't think there's any sure things this year in week 1.

 

[soc123_au]

Time to put little brother back in his box.

 

[Someone2]

Should be moved to Commbank for a bigger crowd

 

[Apey]

Eels by 8

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Should be an absolute humdinger.

 

[This Year?]

3rd time lucky for the Panthers?
Loser faces winner of 5 v 8?

 

[Lemon Squash]

Whose career is Nathan Cleary going to try and end this time round?

Please at least pick one of our shit players this time.

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

 

[Hutty1986]

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

 

[Someone2]

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

 

[footy75]

The BS is over. This is where Penrith come to play now.

 

[SDM]

I feel bad for Penrith, they won a million games this year but end up having to play a team they can't beat. The only time they ever beat Parra in a finals game they got fined for cheating.

 

[Vic Mackey]

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

Agree, hence why I think Parra may be better off losing. They’d then face storm/raiders at commbank, assuming they win that then either sharks in Sydney where they’d have the crowd share or cows in NQ.

The biggest surprise I got from that Is you’ve got a mate
