[Dragon Slayer]

Dragons only have 3 good players.

They’re out because of Origin.

Although the Panthers will be struggling for backs their formidable pack is pretty much intact and will be too strong for the Dargons.

Panthers 13+

 

[_snafu_]

Warm it up…

 

[Panther Mike]

Both sides heavily depleted. It won’t be pretty to watch. I’ll just be happy if we get the 2 points.

 

[This Year?]

Easiest game of the season. I'll be shocked if the Dargons lose.
Shocked!

 

[JamesRustle]

Dargons will win comfortably, unless they are faced with mildly adverse conditions* for more than 5 minutes in the first half.

* Mild adversity exists if Leota and JFH take the field.

 

[YoungPanther]

Slightly worried if Flanagan thinks he can play us with 12

Mathew Feagai must be some player to play wing and centre.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Just took a look at that Dargon side.

Lord Have Mercy!

 

[OzDragon]

Eisensloth in the side?


yeah see you all next week

 

[soc123_au]

Eisensloth in the side?


yeah see you all next week

Ours is out with concussion, otherwise they would cancel each other out.

 

[Fangs]

Won't be a great match you'd think.

Penrith can win without Cleary. I'm not sure if the Dargons can win without Ben Hunt. When was the last time they did that? Pretty sure it wasn't last year.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

Holy shit if U merkins lose this deregister

Feagai geniuss and eisengoof captain my my

 

[Nealo 12]

Spider-Man Ours is out with concussion, otherwise they would cancel each other out.

 

[JamesRustle]

Eisensloth in the side?


yeah see you all next week

We will be up by 2 tries when he moves into the centres, then go on to lose by 30+

 

[chrisD]

Greatest team of our lifetime to defeat the has beeniest team of your grandparent's lifetime.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Id argue Ben Hunt is more important to Saints then the 5 missing Panthers. I have no idea where their points come without him, one out hit up in the 20m wont do it against Penrith.

Choc Soldiers by 8

 

[Someone2]

Panthers by 10

 

[Valheru]

Very difficult to pick

Panthers missing a lot obviously but Dragons missing any attacking prowess they possess with both Hunt and Lomax missing.

Can't see a lot of points form either team. Penrith because they are at home

 

[age.s]

Dragons win: Dragons win
Dragons lose: Sharks become the number two.

Dragons fans can't lose here.

 

[This Year?]

We'll find a way!
