Betting with your heart is for turkeys.

Hopefully we can bounce back. While Edwards isn't perfect one thing that's underrated about his game is his support play, I'm sure he would've been there when Yeo made that break. Also having him back means Staines is out of the team so it's addition by subtraction!!

Not sure how I feel about this game. On face value we should be too strong. But given the job the Souths pack did on us, I'm a little worried we may already be physically beaten.

We were also a Moses choke away from losing to them this season. Parramatta have the defense to repel us; I hope both Cleary's have a Plan B.

There are no guarantees either Edwards or Leota will return against the Eels. Dylan’s been carrying his foot injury for months now and would appear surgery is the only option long term. The week off, combined with pain killing injections will probably get him on the field but who knows.

If Dylan is unavailable, Ivan should stick with the backline he choose against the Bunnies. I know Charlie didn’t have a great game, but dropping him again to make changes involving Naden, Momo, Tago etc would reek of desperation or panic at this late stage.

The trainer said he could have played last week it was close.this is lose and gone game he needs to play

So all things considered, a win looks very likely V Parra if we click right back into gear. Depending how well we do play will go a long way in how we handle the Storm.

Think I’d start Kiks and try and get 70 - 80 out of him. Capewell back to the bench and potentially play him through the middle for a short period if Yeo needs a breather.

Has Kiks ever played that many minutes before?

 

[The Predictor]

Eels are paying over $4. I would of had them around 3 so I suspect the Tab has been tipped off on suspensions.
They all work together.

Thank god all your predictions, we’re way off!!!

 

[roofromoz]

No confidence in this one at all.

In your biggest battle, you throw in your last man.

Ivan has never been good at the bench rotation

He wouldn't last that long. Gets gassed and it shows in his defence.

Ivan gets weird for the finals. He always decides to tinker with things that had previously been working fine.
We have a great team that doesn't need super coach strategies to win.
Keep it simple, forward domination, pressure and field position.

Eels pack too strong. RCG Paulo Nikure Lane Brown Matterson Papalili, hell, that could be a state of origin pack. Let's go.

The Souths game was literally the second game in two years against strong opponents that we haven’t shifted up a couple gears in intensity, discipline and execution. Other being the grand final. We were oddly flat and we’ve been very good at getting up for the big ones and coasting through the dross.

What that means I don’t know. Certainly I’ve noticed we don’t seem as up and about and over the top exuberant when tries are scored. Fish is oddly off. Maybe we have just gassed out from a big, mentally draining season for a young squad.

Or maybe we’re timing it a lot better this year and we have 3 monster games in the pipeline. Should be a ripper of an arvo!

 

[DinkyDi]

Good article, however, I do not believe that we will be playing in the game. Hopefully, I am wrong.

All in the mindset: Why Panthers' premiership dream is very much alive

Jarome Luai and Brian To’o were bouncing around Penrith’s Sunshine Coast hotel with their boombox as usual on Monday and Kurt Capewell insisted that little had changed for the Panthers after the weekend’s loss to South Sydney.
