Penrith v Souths Preliminary Final

[Sime_11]

South’s will try to make this emotional like they did with the roosters game, just keep our attitude in check and compete 100% on every play.

it’s very much like origin 3, all going for us and we are expected to show up and win. Keep our heads down and expect anything. No mercy whatsoever

Difference is our forwards won't roll over

I don't think it is going to be nearly as easy as you guys.

I believe it's going to be a very tough game.

Souths will do anything and everything to win.....legal or illegial.

 

[martielang]

South’s have absolutely nothing to lose which makes them dangerous.

I think they need to grub it up and play as aggressive as possible to cause us some issues. Can’t begrudge them for doing that.

Kikau stirring it up on social media isn’t going to help.
Best off staying out of the medias crosshairs.

We need to stay focused and respectful.
We have had a fair bit of off field garbage coming into the finals the last few years with Naden and May.
Hopefully we behave like champions and leave the grubbiness to others.

I just wanted to say may the best team win. I think my team will show plenty of guts, but your mob will outclass us in the end. You never know though.

P.S. I hate your club and hope you lose by 40 and come last next year
P.P.S. I feel better now

I don't see why they shouldn't - the last three finals games against them have had margins of victory of 4, 6, and 2 points. I don't see next week being any different.

Last week's Parra game was a huge stepping stone in our team's evolution. The confidence and belief would have done wonders, and I expect the Panthers to do a right job on them by much more than those margins.

A revisit to a scoreline such as the one the last time we played Souths in Dubbo will suffice.

Maybe a revisit of a certain Dubbo match

You’re a good egg @yobbo84

May the best team win next Saturday

Short of anything going wrong, we just need to ignore what Souths are doing and play our game. They’re a team that struggles against strong packs, with a few forwards out/busted, one that struggles with ball control playing in the wet more than likely and against a team that will give them nothing.

Hope we don’t wait till the final quarter to put them to the sword, as others have said, if it stays tight for a while, we could have casualties for the granny or just bad luck.

Take them on up the middle.the sharks went wide all day and he had no problem handling it

All due respect to the Sharks - their backline isn't of the same quality as ours. And their forward pack was full of names only - most with their best days well behind them.

Play to our winning formula - middle dominance and pressure.

I think it will be a close game until the 60th minute where our conditioning and grit takes over.

Expecting JFH and Leniu to really shine this game. Leniu coming off the bench around 30 minutes in against the tiring Bunnies middle is tantalising.

 

[John Hamblin]

Lachie Miller got caught out several times in defence. Sharks may have been a bit flat after the Cows game. The last time we played Souths no Nathan no Jerome and one or two others yet we still beat them.

We have won 7 out of the last eight against the Rabbits no reason we can't beat them again!!

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

This wont be easy, but i'm confident our forwards and Nathan to come out and do what they do week in week out...

Could be the 3rd GF running, a somewhat amazing achievement win or lose.

On top of the guys who went off on Saturday night, Rabbits centre Campbell Graham is playing through broken ribs. Not sure why they're disclosing this info - but I imagine we'll be sending Kiks his way every chance we get.

Bizarre, it's one thing having to worry about being tackled by the corpse of Wade Graham and the nuffy reserve graders the Sharks played at centre and wing. Tago and Kikau aren't going to miss the target zone when hitting.

It is. And the fact we have lost only 10 games over that 3 year period is an amazing achievement as well

When strong, feign weakness. When weak, feign strength. But yes, test him out by all means. Wait for the pain killers to wear off.

 

[Goonji]

The Sharks had 3 too many veterans in their pack (Graham, Fifita and Tolman) and were never going to much South's forwards. The Bunnies won't have that luxury on the weekend. Our forwards are all.in their prime.
