Both coaches spent the off season tuning up a tranny.

Ivan changed the oil, adjusted the bands and cleaned out the valve bodies to ensure clean crisp gear changes.

Robbo went to Oxford St and f**ked a dude in a dress.

Panthers by as many as we want.

 

[Woody90]

Are we looking at the Roosters getting 50’d 2 weeks in a row?

 

[Chins]

Are we looking at the Roosters getting 50’d 2 weeks in a row?

Probably not. We'll cruise to something like a 30-6 win. Even when Easts were "good" they haven't been on our level for over half a decade. Robbo is the biggest fraud in the NRL.

 

[Fangs]

This will be fun.

 

[Trifili13]

If the Chooks cop another 50, does it reverse the first one and they can still win the comp?

No one has ever really tried it before.

But if they didn't cross the streams then the Ghostbusters never would have blown up Mr Staypuff.

We got done 50-0 then 56-0 in consecutive weeks in 2004, good times

Think Easts missing Radley from last week and no else back. Penrith dont really belt teams but shouldnt be troubled here. The -16.5 wont be enough for Easts

 

[The Man Shake]

Riff by 50. Feathers gonna fly.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

We want 50!

We want 50!

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

We’re deep in the season so Penrith will rest a few so we’ll only lose by 40.

 

[Danish]

Riff by 50. Feathers gonna fly.

See I was thinking more of a photoshop of that gang bang picture with the Penrith forward pack eyeing off poor sandon

 

[Iamback]

Go us with the -16.5 start. We get that but not much over 20 point win

 

[Comfy]

penrith to clock the scoreboard 9999

 

[Stinkfinger]

Bunnies had 2 in '21. The Crichton intercept was inevitable, as too was the final miss by Reynolds. You could see the ball veer away as if by some arcane curse.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Cocks looking at a second hiding in a row. That F/A deficit is going to be a pain to claw back for most of the season.

True. Could be the difference between coming 13th or 14th for them.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

True. Could be the difference between coming 13th or 14th for them.

Or even dodging the spoon. I've seen nothing to rule them out of that race just yet.

 

[This Year?]

 

[Belza1]

11 consecutive wins for Riff against Chooks by as much as they want.
