I think it could be on the wings and use of the bench. Two things not handled well by our coach.
Well, you have us for pace without Blake and Edwards. If Widdop and Hunt fire you should win, if our pack is fired up, it will be close. I don't think our Maloney/Cleary combo has played together enough yet to trouble your defence. That said, you know we won't give up until the final whistle so it will be a tough game.

Its hard to imagine us not putting in from kick off until full time in this game. No taking it lightly or starting slow.

They are the form team of the competition sitting in first place. As if that weren't enough reason to fire up we were beaten by Dragons convincingly last year twice. Origin teams about go be announced... we should be at our best for this match.

I'm not confident we will win. But I am confident we will show up to play and that this game should be a cracker.

Maloney said it best through the week. Full house, top of the table clash this is what you play for. We will come out firing I have no doubt whether not having Mansour, Blake or halves combination will hurt us time will tell

Blake is a pretty big loss. I miss him :(

There’s no doubt if we play somewhere near our very best we can win on Saturday night. Having said that it will have to be an 80 minute performance and take our opportunities when they present. We have to take our chances something we were not able to do against the West Tigers. Still waiting for the level of performance that has premiership contender stamped all over it. Hoping we see it this Saturday night.

That pretty well sums it up from our perspective as well mate. It's a true top of the table clash, both teams trying to assert themselves as genuine premiership favourites, plenty of Origin contenders on both sides trying to make a final impression on Freddie, neither side wanting to give the other a psychological advantage should we meet again at the pointy end of the season and 2 great forward packs who will dearly like to win the dick swinging rights. Ahhhh, this is what footy is all about!

Best of luck lads, nil injuries and may the better team win...........just as long as we are the better team!;)

Do we need to bring oxygen as I hear it's higher altitude in Penrith near the mountains.

That's a real home ground advantage if our boys have to sniff cans of fresh air for 80 minutes!

That's my only fear.
One thing is for sure,the people out Penrith way look noticeably healthier than the Sydney types. The women are very alluring. Go across to Panthers Club and see for yourself. Book a room in case you decide to stay. :)

Ha ha ha, very funny.
I think I will stick to the golden beaches of Manly, Coogee and Cronulla.
