This, I think is going to be the game of the round and possibly one of 2004's best games too.
The Panthers are looking quite strong, with a 34-12 demolishing of the NZ Warriors on the weekend, and most of the game was played without their star NZ representitive back rower, Joe Galuvao. He left the field early with a dislocated finger.
Luke Swain and Tony Puletua also did not play.
The Panthers were losing 12-6 at half time, but came out a different side in the second period, and ran away with the game.
With the Panthers looking to be at near full strength for the season opener in just 11 days time, the Knights, with Andrew Johns back to steer the boat, will encounter one of their toughest challenges of 2004.
Talk about a baptism of fire.
From the 2 Premiership contenders, the winner of this first game will come away with bragging rights and a huge confidence boost for the remainder of the season.
I can't wait for this game. It's going to be a cracker.
