[Fangs]

Newcastle is like Penrith except it has beaches and a light rail system. The mountain men will fit right in at the Honeysuckle Foreshore.

Penrith by 14.

 

[Apey]

Bradman Best to run riot on Tago.

Panthers still to win by 12 points.

 

[JamesRustle]

AOB to leverage his big game experience and motivate the Novocastrians to a memorable victory. Knights by 1.

 

[Panther Mike]

It was a memorable game last year at Newcastle when Nathan won it for us with a long range field goal in extra time. He's not there this year but we get a boost with Dyl back. We should have too much for them but it's a possible danger game, as are most games for us at this time of year.

 

[Someone2]

Panthers by 16

F**K!! Congrats in advance Newy

 

[Rising from the Ashes]

Bradman Best to run riot on Tago.

Panthers still to win by 12 points.

Tago has been disappointing hey, I know most the action come from Cleary but he has been a Supercoach bust while Cleary has been out.

 

[GongPanther]

Penrith by 28-12. Just wish our defense would tighten up.

 

[BxTom]

F**K!! Congrats in advance Newy

Don't discourage Rhynob, his posting here has got us 4 Grand Finals and three premierships so far and he still going!

 

[Mr. Shaman]

These teams stink

[Diesel]

KNights looked good last week

 

[Bazal]

Does Atkins collect pubes to fill in that clear receding hairline at the corners of his forehead?

 

[chrisD]

Trash Luai

 

[Wb1234]

What a try

Penrith carved up

 

[Diesel]

Newcastle line of fallbacks strike

 

[t-ba]

DAFUQ was that?

 

[Munky]

Horrible by Luai and Edwards got turned inside out.

 

[some11]

Give Ponga the rest of the season off.

 

[Bazal]

Luai defending like a man who has to go to work tomorrow
