No point having a public holiday in Penriff. Makes no difference when you're unemployed.

I thought that was Melbourne? The socialist capital of Australia.

Fear not comrade the Penrith Panthers will save the day.

The amount of salt in this thread..
Keen to see the lineups. We could be in trouble with our outs, even at our fortress while the Storm are pretty close to full strength I think.

I just went outside and everyone seems to be talking about Thursday night.

'Oh hello postman, what mail do you bring?'

'Nevermind that, how about those Panthers!'

Just a typical conversation between NRL fans here in the state of NSW. One of many that will be happening this week in anticipation of Thursday nights match.

And yes, I haven't seen one Storm jersey yet.

So penrith aren't going through those gears that no one else can keep up with this week?

They did that last week. It would become a banality if we did it all the time.

Keep your powder dry. I'm not expecting much of a match.

Boring RLFC v DrizzleCheats R Us

This match will be so f**king dire. Insomniacs rejoice!

If both sides could somehow lose, I would be sooooo happy.

If that's not possible, I hope NAS gets sent off for going full Bali on someone and each side has seven players suspended
