[AlwaysGreen]

Battle of the heavyweights.
2 glamour clubs head to head in the grand final preview.

Ricky's superstars are just warming up and should put thee WGDs to the sword.

Warm up the fifty thread.

 

[Sphagnum]

5 hit ups and a kick worked against the panthers last week so you have to give the raiders a big chance here.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Is there another Canberra ambush coming this week like last year.

Or is Ricky saving it for the presser again.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Panthers 13+ with a hattrick for Salmon

 

[Apey]

Two very average teams here. Who will kick out on the full in Wighton's absence?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Two very average teams here. Who will kick out on the full in Wighton's absence?

I'm sure we'll find someone

 

[Fangs]

This could be a feisty contest. Ricky will have his Raiders playing absolutely feral in this one.

Shorter turn around and Canberra with injuries/suspensions looming in key positions. Penrith should get home. Hopefully off the back of a Salmon MOM performance.

 

[Grapple]

I'm not sure what to make of this one. I think Canberra will lose this easily but also think Penrith will win it easily. Will wait till teams are announced before making my pick.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Penrith are running on fumes, we're driving the last of the V8 interceptors with a full tank of gasoline.

 

[Saxon]

First 50 of the year.
Sticky to blame the Ref, the weather, the weak gutted dog, and probably God.

 

[This Year?]

Most pashunate matchup of the round. Can easily see someone in lime green getting completely unhinged. Hopefully it ends up like the infamous battle of Brookie.

 

[footy75]

Penrith but closer than expected.

 

[Westernised Panther]

19-12 Penrith

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Holy shit so hyped for this game. Just imagining all the great play from us right now. Can't wait.

 

[Exsilium]

Holy shit so hyped for this game. Just imagining all the great play from us right now. Can't wait.

We have zero creativity. Should be a cripple fight within the 20m for both side.

Lets prey that Peachy can do something he hasn't done for several years.

 

[Leber]

Cripple fight.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Battle of the heavyweights.
2 glamour clubs head to head in the grand final preview.

Ricky's superstars are just warming up and should put thee WGDs to the sword.

Warm up the fifty thread.

With the clubs involved here it should be called the filthy thread

 

[Vibing]

Penrith easily

 

[Bazal]

The Raiders should be confident of maintaining a score gap of the combined IQ scores of Simple Jack and Jordy Rapz

Unfortunately for them that number is actually -18
