Gears baby. Training run.

 

[Valheru]

I guess reverse is a gear

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Here comes the Valheru vs Everybody battle.

 

[Woody90]

This is gonna be a fun thread.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Gears baby. Training run.

I’ve always had time for you, Soc so just for you, I hope the Roosters go easy on your mob.

 

[soc123_au]

I’ve always had time for you, Soc so just for you, I hope the Roosters go easy on your mob.

We live in hope.

It will be a fun lead up no matter what happens Friday night.

Love you too btw.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Sucks Easts will have the injury excuse to fall back on.

Panthers 13+ and that was always going to be the case. We simply own them and have for the whole 2020s

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Both teams playing like busted arses recently. Will be a plodfest for the ages.

Let’s hope there’s no rain or strong winds.

 

[Apey]

Panthers should get this with Walker et al out. A shame, because it was shaping up as Roosters 13+ otherwise. Panthers injury luck is now extending to their opposition. Quite remarkable.

I'll find out who you are and hunt you down

 

[Stinkfinger]

Both sides played bum sides at the weekend, bum sides who had a go. Roosters scored 36, could have been more, Panthers conceded 12, could have been less. You can see where the focus of each side is. This is attack vs defence. Defence wins big games they say, we shall see. I just hope the ref allows the players to decide the winner.

 

[This Year?]

As a neutral this is the game of the round. One set of fans is going to have their expectations left in tatters.
Schadenfreude will be the winner.

 

[sportsnut]

Penrith Panthers.

 

[Fangs]

Time to bring the Ferrari out of the garage and shift gears.

Penrith 13+

Re-signing Staines??

Charlie is clearly a Ford.

We've been using the BMW recently (Brad Schneider) but Spring is here now. We will only take the Ferrari out on weekends so its fine.

Yeah seeing a lot of Panthers jerseys out and about. Lots of water cooler talk in the office about Penrith.

I did see some Roosters jerseys today to be fair but they were on the rack at Peter Wynn's place.
