Panthers by. 50. Loo loo eye to receive a penalty for pulling his own hair . He gets a Krispy Kreme donut named after him. It’s a best seller. Sirro wonders what might have been .

 

[Valheru]

Wouldn't it be funny if....

Nah, Panthers to take their frustrations out on souths.

 

[soc123_au]

Gears and things. Need to pull the finger out this week, doesn't need to be a flogging, a comfortable win will do.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Feels like Cam Murray has been the only thing stopping Souths getting 50 put on them most weeks. Now hes gone and playing a Penrith team smarting from an unexpected loss. This could get very ugly. Panthers by 28.

 

[Panther Mike]

If a top 4 spot being on the line doesn’t wake us up nothing will. Souffs have most of their team injured it seems so we should be winning well and showing more hunger than recent weeks.

 

[yobbo84]

Nothing will announce "we're back!" more than the Panthers being the first team to score 80 points in a match since 1935.

 

[JamesRustle]

A nothing game, so hopefully Panthers just put on an absolute clinic... or shit the bed.

 

[Apey]

If Jack Cogger can score two tries against Souths, then the Panthers probably can too.

 

[This Year?]

#baldprediction If Souths score more than 2 tries the 4peat is off the table.

 

[yobbo84]

Our back 5 have a combined 121 games NRL experience. 86 of those to Taane Milne.

If we score any tries I'll celebrate.

 

[Sime_11]

if Penrith concede 20 or more again we deserve to lose

sort this shit out Ivan

 

[Nealo 12]

If Jack Cogger can score two tries against Souths, then the Panthers probably can too.

Thanks for taking him off our hands on big coin … like most of the optimistic clubs do

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Thanks for taking him off our hands on big coin … like most of the optimistic clubs do

He’s on f**k all and a Newy junior blud

 

[yobbo84]

Cam Murray found guilty at the judiciary. Now have to play the Panthers and the Roosters missing at least:

1. Latrell Mitchell
2. Alex Johnston
3. Campbell Graham
4. Isaiah Tass
5.
6.
7. Lachlan Ilias
8. Junior Tatola
9.
10. Shaquai Mitchell
11. Ben Lovett
12. Jai Arrow
13. Cameron Murray

That's with 3 or 4 blokes who have returned in the past fortnight.

End 2024 already, sheesh.

 

[Warrimoo3]

Penrith have the Titans next week at home so they’re guaranteed a top 4 finish after this training run against Souths . Turuva’s return from exile is a week too late for the Panthers as he would have finished that try that Blake Laurie couldn’t . His evasive skills are off the scale.The best in the NRL .

The return of the 3rd fastest man in the NRL (according to official NRL GPS stats. . I know that’s a bit hard to believe) Paul Alamoti boosts the Panthers defence but his defence is flakey.

The Panthers only lost to the Storm by 2 despite being undermanned and Melbourne getting the run of play. Despite being down on form and again being undermanned they only lost to an intercept try late against a very spirited Raiders.

I think they’re just in cruise control waiting for the finals. The motivation of finals football is what they need and it will see them through to a 4th consecutive title.

Oops. Paul Alamoti boosts the Panthers attack but his defence is flakey. (Too much coffee and coke…a cola.)

Solid Post. Would read again.

One word: Gears.

This one is going to get ugly.
