Well Game Day is just about upon us in this round 4 clash back at home at Accor for our first home game there this year and it doesn’t get much tougher we come up against the 4 time in a row reigning premiers in the Panthers in Thursday Night Footy. Penrith have started the year a bit slower than normal they are 1 and 2 so they’ll be absolutely desperate tomorrow night to go 2 and 2. They have been off their game but I expect them to be right on here. Yes they’ve lost JFH and Luai but they always find guys who buy right into their systems and fit right in. I’m certain Ivan will have them right on tomorrow. Like most sides our record against Penrith of late has been so bad and I’m over these smug pricks from the foot of the mountains having the wood over us. Some of the arrogance from their players and fans etc we don’t forget it and it hurts. Well we have a good shot tomorrow night to get one back of them. For us we have had a solid start to the year the boys look fitter which is a positive and we have Uncle Wayne back which is big for us. We had a good first 2 weeks with tight wins which is so crucial in this comp win those close games. But last week we took a couple of steps backwards and underwhelmed at Shark Park. So we need to see some sort of a bounce back this week. Like most of us I’m not expecting to win here but you never know and if we can’t win let’s make Penrith really earn it and give them a big scare. But back at home on our turf I know it’s a Thursday Night but my fellow faithful let’s do all we can to get out to Accor tomorrow and give our boys a lift.
Looking at the Panthers they have quality all over the park we know that. Yes there is know Cleary, Edwards but that doesn’t matter. They have such great depth they have Laurie at the back, To’o and Alamoti and Tago we all know what they bring. Cole and young Toleau will play into their systems and up front they have a strong pack still in Leota, L. Smith, Yeo, Martin, Ipap, Henry etc so they can still tear sides apart. As we know they are so fit and well drilled and will not stop for the 80mins I mean they nearly beat Melbourne down there last week playing the last 74mins without Cleary. For us we lose Campbell which is a massive blow. We are without Trell, Campbell, Munro, Murray, Aitken and Hubner. Up front I’ve also heard the Tatola starting rumours if it’s true I hope Junior can step up but it’s a big ask as he’s underdone. Anyway we need our middles to step up last week was bad so we need Keppie, Tatola, Tallis, Moale, Liva to all lift. We need more from Keaon and Arrow as well much more. Then in the halves we need Cody to get into the game I hope he can. In the backs we need much more from Wighton he was poor last week we need him to lift big time. It’ll be great to see AJ back out there I wish him all the best AAAAJJJJJJJJ! We will need Rava and Tass to do their best on that edge as well s as a lot of traffic will come that way. At the back with Jye we know what we will get he won’t stop.
The keys to winning for us will be an 80 mins performance if our pack don’t aim up we are in strife. We also need to be disciplined complete high and stop the Penrith offloads. I want to see the boys have line speed a good kick chase etc we need to be enthusiastic cmon Souths time to dig deep. If we give silly penalties etc away Penrith will make you pay. In attack we need to be patient and build pressure. We just can’t afford really silly lapses in defence either.
Well welcome back to Accor Stadium for our first home game here of the 2025 season as we come up against the 4 time reigning premiers the Penrith Panthers. Great to see so much red and green in the stands this Thursday Night let’s do all we can to get right behind the boys for the full 80mins and be that 18th man as we chase our third win of the season. Let’s make sure we hear that Mighty South Sydney chant for the full 80mins here tonight.
