2023 FW1 Sat - Penrith 32-6 Warriors @ BlueBet

[sup42]

Sounds like a defeatist attitude. It'll be a contest for about 40-60 mins, then the Panthers will simply take control.

Maybe the best scenario that could happen is if the Panthers blow away the Wahs in the first 20 mins, then the Panthers might just ease up on them as far as the brutality of the Panthers defense is concerned.

Your confidence is a little over the top there Gong.

There are two teams playing in this game.

You lot are modelling Penriths main weakness, they think they just have to show up and collect the win.

Warriors are not going to lie down.

He's the smuggest dementia patient in all of Penrith.

Not you're best thread Panther fans... What happened to being a likeable fanbase?

Panthers defensive structure, scramble and game smarts of knowing when to slow the play the ball (not doing it every tackle and getting pinged) imo will be too much for the warriors. I really can’t see a way they win short of AFB running over people or some Tohu Harris playmaking, panthers even defend offloads with little discomfort.

Media reporting SJ has a lower leg injury, fifty fifty he will play.

If Johnson is out, that is two halves gone and pretty much game over for the Warriors.

FMD... what a bunch of amateurs, they could of at least used the old "mystery virus has gone through the camp" to keep us guessing !

Out in straight sets is looking very likely.

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Ouch - That hurts.

Save him for a sudden death home semi or risk further injury in a game they have little chance at winning

Humble panther fans making out like this game is the Harlem Globetrotters v Washington Generals.

 

[Sime_11]

smart decision giving SJ a week - warriors at home will be a fantastic atmosphere next weekend

 

[MrBlack]

All we need is a player castrated…

Didnt Spenser have a rather "uncomfortable" injury this year of similar nature????

That doesn't refute anything he said. We already know Panthers have had the best defence in the comp the past 3 - 4 years.

Harlem wishes it was as mean as the Druitt

Johnson out is disappointing. Both teams at close to full strength is what you want this time of year.

it’s a surprisingly healthy top 4 coming into the finals. Raiders and roosters seem to have the most significant injury/suspension issues of the teams in the finals

Where have you been the past 4 years? No one has liked us since 2020. Some of the hate even pre-dates that.

He's not officially out is he?

 

[Evil_Mush]

SJ being a likely out is pretty gutting, thought the worst of our injury woes were behind us for the year

Hopefully Volkman (assuming he is brought in) has got the first grade jitters out of his system and can surprise people on Saturday, and that TMM is closer to his impressive early form pre-leg break.

Just a bit of foxing from the Warriors.

No doubt the rest of the 17 will die suddenly and return to life 1 hour before kick off.
