Penrith 120-4.

Penrith 120-4.

thats generous giving us 4 the way we're attacking

YAM will fall over the line in the 79th minute, which will be followed up by a Tito jump onto his shoulders forgetting they play for the Tigers now.

 

[Vic Mackey]

We've been absolute garbage the last 2 weeks, we don't beat any other team yesterday. Im sure we lift for Penrith, the game a few weeks back was high quality with the Riff just winning the big moments. Desperately need Bula and Samuela back to be any chance, even with them I dont see us turing the last two weeks around enough to be able to compete with a Panthers side who have started purring along. Penrith by 14.

 

[This Year?]

Light rain forecasted for around 3pm.
Maybe that will change.

 

[JamesRustle]

No Chuck Staines this week. I don't think that will be enough to get the Tigers over the line.

Panthers to beat Penrith 3rds by 16.

 

[Panther Mike]

I’ll get out to this game. A rare Parramatta visit for me. I am wary of the ex Panthers in the Tigers and how they lift for Penrith. Hopefully we have too much to play for though and good defence wins us the game.

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

Our form says we get dominated badly, however Luai, Api, Turuva and May will probably grow an extra leg and make a game of it

Riff by 10
