LOWER GRADES
Newcastle^ v Penrith^ at McDonald Jones, Sat - Flegg 12:30pm / NSW Cup 3pm​

 

[mozza91]

Cleary and Yeo are ugly. To’o is fat.

Knights by 46.

 

[Valheru]

Knights will put in and keep it competitive.

Penrith to win but Knights are certainly better than the odds suggest.

 

[Munky]

Miller to run away from Cleary's bombs and the kick chase quicker than he does a second rower.

 

[soc123_au]

No Ponga will keep this closer than it should be and keep the Knights from joining the Dogs and Raiders.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Luai vs Gamble should be entertaining

 

[Munky]

Mitch Kenny finally meets his equal in Crossland.

A match up for ages, the best since Buderus and Priddis faced off two decades ago.

 

[mongoose]

Knights are playing well, not sure they can cause an upset though. The smug looking like they're on another level to everyone else again...

 

[GongPanther]

Knights are playing well, not sure they can cause an upset though. The smug looking like they're on another level to everyone else again...

IMO, this game will be our toughest test of the season if you ignore those wet games. The Raiders nabbed the Broncos, so anything is possible this season. An off day in a team's mindset, and there is nothing you can do when the underdog smells blood in the water.

 

[JamesRustle]

Panthers to get the strawberry milkshake here, by the length of an oak tree.

 

[footy75]

Penrith will win if they are serious.

 

[This Year?]

Any chance the Pennies will underestimate the Knights and won't beat the margin?

 

[Someone2]

Panthers by 40

 

[Chins get the wins]

Any chance the Pennies will underestimate the Knights and won't beat the margin?

Not with the current media campaign being ran by Foxsports/Newscorp to destabilise us. Clowns like Kent are fueling 3 in a row

 

[mozza91]

Plenty of Penrith fans at the ground. Long term die hard since mid to late 2020.

 

[Blues Riff]

They're the sons and daughters of depressed Knights fans.

 

[Bazal]

The Human Foot Cleary looks even f**ken less human with 25% of Grant Atkins pube collection glued to the back of his head...

 

[blaza88z]

PENRITH

 

[This Year?]

I couldn't help myself. Apologies in advance:

 

[GreenMachine121]

Luai to score
Cleary to score
Marzipan to score

penrith 86 -6
