2024 R24 Thu - Penrith 22-24 Melbourne @ BlueBet

Best fullback out. Best front rower out. Back row, out. Almost Barretted last week. Heavy rain. Storm cheat. This has the makings of the greatest underdog story ever.

Klown as ref and Sutton in the bunker. How to f**k up the game of the round.

Expect one side to get out in the first half on the back of some bewildering one sided calls, and the other side to come back after the second half level ups.

 

[Philleestein]

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.

Might have suspensions and injury, but you'll gave Ashley Klein on your side. Ge'll all but score the winning points.

Have you ever considered stand up comedy?

With Penrith's outs, the Scum will get up by 8 or so

 

[Chins get the wins]

Fish and Edwards have been added back in. Our backrow is super weak though.
We should go straight up the guts, Melbourne don't have the middles to match us

Storm have the best penalty differential in the competition this season and Panthers are one of the top 3 most penalised teams.

But for Klein specifically. Storm have a 62% win rate with Klein. Panthers have a 44% win rate with him. Storm will get the better of the calls tonight just as they did in Round 1.

Storm have been terrible for weeks, they play better without Munster. Penrith and I don’t think it will be close.

 

[Munky]

Surely both teams play a completion based game with little to no plays put on. Especially in the first fifty minutes.

Win by attrition and save some shots for a probable finals match up.

Pretty much. I can see a low scoring game. Chances of meeting again some time next month is very high.

Great first post, one of the best... But may I suggest spell check from here on out?

Hopefully Storm get awarded an illegal try in the final seconds to win

 

[Exsilium]

Penrith 13+

My confidence has come from the same source Latrell recently found his.

Only to have the bunker make up a ruling for penrith to win.

Nose beers don’t discriminate, Barry is always up for a chat.

 

[GongPanther]

Grant Anderson V Brian To'o will be quite the matchup. Penrith will have to mind their play the balls, as Crawley on Tuesday moaned for 5 hilarious minutes about the Panthers, of course without pointing the finger at other guilty sides.

Panthers 32-16.

I don’t use a calendar mate. It could be the sabbath and I’d still be up, down and all around for a good time.
