Does anyone else remember when Sportsbet paid out for the dragons to win the minor premiership early?

We fell off a cliff that season, bundled out of the finals in straight sets.

Not to say that this will necessarily happen to Penrith, but they could follow a similar trajectory over 3 years. Getting close year 1 but not quite getting there. Winning the comp the second year. Looking fantastic for most of the third year then spiraling at the end.

It’s hard to stay on top of this comp for repeated seasons. A couple of injuries to key players in the next few weeks and a bit of disruption inside the club would bring them right back to the pack.

Yep, seems to have happened to the rorters these past 2 seasons, so you know what you're talking about

Sean O’Sullivan and Kurt Falls are honestly going to have to play out of their skins in the next five rounds, or we risk not only losing the Minor Premiership, but also slipping to 6th and we’ve got a tough run home.

If we don't win 3 of 5, I'll eat my hat.
Raiders, Storm and Warriors are certain wins.

Rabbits and Cowboys are 50/50.

Sharks and cows are no chance for the minor prems

Probably still be good enough to come at least second, probably first.

That would put us on 38 with +294
Given Cowboys are on 26 and a worse for and against. Would need to win every game to jump us
The only other team that could possibly catch us is Sharks but with a 107 for and against..

So 3rd trophy in 3 years it is!

Slightly off with Cows points, but the premise remains and I agree with you.

Let’s put it this way; if the Cows can beat the Roosters and Souths (both in Sydney), and then us in the final week, while we only win one of our last 6 games, then the Cows deserve to be MPs.
 

big hit!

I'll wait and see how Penrith go over the next two weeks before making and judgement. '@ Canberra, and v Storm are a couple of good tests for any team.

We will still win the premiership but you will get better odds now

All our injured and suspended players will be back for the finals; when it counts!!

We all thought the internet would bring people together, but sadly it’s done the opposite. If you jump onto social media, it seems the platforms have enabled an outlet for the worst parts of human nature, with users constantly bickering and fighting over every issue imaginable, no matter how trivial.

Do you have a newsletter I could subscribe to?

Didn't you just make this exact post in the TV ratings thread? Is this like a copy pasta or something?

The Penny Panthers are currently bleeding with injury and suspension but we will take that blood and drink it

It is our body; it has been given up for our supporters

Blessed be the Penrith Panthers forever.
