Penrith v Bondi Battlers (Finals Week One)

[WestyLife]

We'll win.

 

[Fangs]

Would love to see Manu at 6. Would be taking a strength and making it a weakness.

May or may not happen.

Robbo hasn't beaten Penrith in yonks. I doubt he just names 1-17 like that. Some bench changes coming.

Looking at that bench. I hope they bench Spencer the bench is garbage.

Whether he is 6 or not Manu will roam.

Our right has had issues and now a busted Cleary Angus and Manu will run there all night.

As for us

Luai to play some 7 and just play eyes up. They will be expecting Nathan to do everything

Garner for Sorro
Smith for Moses

Plays his best football from the bench like Watson. That is why he will consider benching them. He started ZDC only recently then started Watson. Foreshadowing.

Regardless we will win the match but with I'm not expecting straight forward team selections from Robbo.

 

[BxTom]

We'll win.

Klein is the ref so don't put your money on it.

Bugger.

 

[Fangs]

Ashley Klein...

We can't make excuses. He will try to manufacture a close game but play to our potential and he won't get that opportunity.

 

[WestyLife]

Klein is the ref so don't put your money on it.

In this year's SOO he blew the whistle a fair bit so that's a bit worrying. Just want a flowing game more than anything Panthers don't do well with stop start football.

 

[West Nowra Panther]

Klein is the biggest concern now.

I can't stop thinking about last week when a second rate Souffs scored 28 against the Bondi battlers and we played at a very low standard to years past but still got over the notorious Hasler ambush.

Winning ugly has been a thing this year, but that'll do me.

They will come good. Martin made for this. Leota too.

Let's hope so. Sometimes when sides come to the end of their run but you just wait and wait for it to all click untill you realise that they just aren't the best anymore.

On a possitive both times they played the Storm they have been close games and flip of coins despite the score.


GO THE PENRITH PANTHER

Storm are clear favourites no doubt, the only small worry I have the roosters will win is that they are due to beat us soon... Just hope it isn't on Friday.

 

[Nealo 12]

You just know they will kick to our short wingers with a high ball game that’s what they’ll do

They'll be kicking from their half most the game

 

[Nealo 12]

They'll be kicking from their half most the game

Yeah and hoping for that error

 

[penrithfrank]

For me there 1 tactic ... Nathan to bomb dom young .. he's got loads of errors in his game ...

 

[WestyLife]

They'll be kicking from their half most the game

With their little baby legs.

 

[betcats]

I think we should win but its hard to be overly confident with our form, we have been giving teams a lot of chances at times this year and Roosters even without Walker can punish us. We play a disciplined game we should get home but we start with the penalties and it could be trouble.

 

[Sime_11]

hopefully 2021 Nathan kicking occurs - just pepper them downfield and keep making them work it off their line - just suffocate them

 

[Panther Pete]

They'll be kicking from their half most the game

Not if we give away dumb penalties and repeat sets on the 5th tackle.

 

[Sime_11]

unfortunately we are first game of the finals series - so we will be the pioneer game for how games will be reffed.

no doubt if there is high negativity with reffing this game - the other games will be more lenient

just gotta be as disciplined as we can be

 

[soc123_au]

Being full strength for I think the first time this year helps. If everyone is on their game we should smoke them.

The thing with Klein is not so much screwing over certain teams but he does seem to like to turn momentum to manage a close game as much as he can get away with.
