Panthers R21 @ the Gong

[KogarahWarrior]

even across the 4 years of panthers dominance - we always seem to be competitive with them and match up well across the park (unlike the roosters, storm and sharks who routinely pump us)

The optimist in me can smell an upset, the realist see's an approx 10 point loss

We should've won that game at Kogarah in 2022. Worst reffing I've ever seen

 

[FlickFlano]

Panthers game in 2022.
Hunt getting his kick charged down by Kikau
OSullivan staying down and SuA getting binned because of it
The bullshit of Lomax getting binned
Ravalawa (who never lets us down) dropping the ball with the line open
But as KW says ... Chris Sutton killed us.

But as KW says ... Chris Sutton killed us.

Whenever I see Ashley Klein referee and think there can't possibly be any worse ref in the NRL......I think of Chris Sutton.....

With the results Saints have had against top sides this is a huge danger game as in how it will damage the for and against. Having the week off is not always a good thing.

If Saints can challenge Penrith and keep it tight, that would be a good result as what we have seen in the past against top 4 sides has been pretty bad.

The good news is if the Raiders lose to the Rabbits which is hugely possible, they will stay 9th and possibly on the same points as the teams ahead of them.

If Saints can get past the next 2 games and still be 2 points from top 8 that will be great for them. The last 5 games are against winnable opponents and if they cannot win at least 3 of those then they don't deserve to make the 8. Hopefully 30pts is enough to make the 8.

They'll need at least 31points for and against is terrible.

unless they experience a big downer after yet another Cleary's miracle on Sunday I just cannot see how we can hold them out when they elect to turn it on. And likely they will be much stronger again this week with Edwards and Yeo to join Cleary - it seems the big boys are back in town.

Lets just say this - I doubt we will be improving our F/A this week or next.

 

[Illusion]

The Storm will be in GF, hopefully Bellamy would be thinking of taking it easy for the next couple of weeks, Saints need to jag 1 of the next 2 games.

They have rested player before against us , but they still get the win ........

likely on the money - but isnt edwards out? Laurie gives me hope, Edwards will have them starting on the 30 each set

 

[2010Dragons]

Chris sutton is either completely incompetent or completely corrupt.
im going with incompetent.

Whenever I see Ashley Klein referee and think there can't possibly be any worse ref in the NRL......I think of Chris Su

 

[Crush]

I’m predicting a dragons win or a narrow loss this game vs Penrith.
We go alright vs them.
Storm will be a very different story.

 

[56to66]

The next two games.

 

[Dragon David]

The next two games.

C'mon Dragons. Fight all the way to the last second of the game. Never give up. "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee".

 

[Slippery Morris]

Penrith full strength and Storm with Munster back on deck next week. 2 big weeks for the Dragons. Lucky they are only 2 points away from 4th coming into these 2 games. If they lose these 2 they will definitely still be a chance of finals.

We’ll need impact off the bench & it looks like we have it. Fingers crossed no backs are injured.

 

[RedVDave]

No way we beat the premiers twice in the same season.

I'd much rather win next week and end our 25 year misery streak in Melbourne but sadly can't see us winning either.

 

[SEAT 1A]

The boys will have a dig however, we are playing the 1st and 2nd teams.

The positive, we beat BNE before the bye.

 

[SnowDragon]

I’m dreaming of 2 wins in the next two weeks!

Man , you smoking some strong s##t

 

[denis preston]

Cake not in the 17 both also not named in the KOE cup ? Interesting that Molo is now off the bench in KOE.
