Round 18, Penrith Panthers Vs Para Eewls

[GongPanther]

Could be a wet night.I actually think it suits us more than them .We like to wear down and power with our forwards .They on the other hand can get flashy as times.
Suits us more

Forecast for 9/11 from the BoM 9am this morning.

"Partly cloudy. Slight (20%) chance of a shower. Winds southeast to southwesterly 15 to 20 km/h tending east to northeasterly in the morning."

 

[GongPanther]

Mahoney out the Eels I read - even more emphasis now on no excuses.

foot on the throat time - don't let up Panthers

Even with them at full strength, they would still be up against it.

Thank you. Just four changes. No Aekins Whare Capewell or Burton well at the moment.

Capewell injured 2nd minute, Martin played 78 mins. Burton 14 mins.

upsurge of what?

Mentions of Panthers on the main NRL board & game day section from fans of other clubs, some genuine posts rating us & plenty taking the piss re our apparent "smugness" Either way it's all in good fun.

We are far from smug. The eels on the other hand, are.

Mahoney being out no doubt hurts the Eels but I have no doubt this game is a 50-50 proposition. They are going to be up for it and we will need to be at our very best to win this one. I just hope the players decide the outcome and there is no controversy.

Not every game is 50/50.

They have half of their spine out. Coming off a short turnaround. Playing the competition leaders away

We are rightfully favourites and should win comfortably

That’s fine, but it means nothing. Being favourite so what. I hope we put on a great show for the 3,500 who can be there at the game and arguably the biggest audience ratings so far this season. I guess you could argue we are a 90% chance of winning but that means nothing it will all be determined over 80 plus minutes tomorrow night.

It comes down to 80 minutes, doesn’t matter who is in or out, short turnarounds it will be about who performs best on the night and they have plenty of strike power .

I just don’t understand the assumptions you and others are making. This will be our sternest test for some time.

Panthers 3 to 1 on in the betting which is a 75% chance but they build in a margin in their favour, so the true chance is probably around 70%

Where did I say we WILL win? There is a difference between being favourites and actually winning?

Doesn't change the fact we Should win though and will be a disappointing performance if we don't

My mates horse backed as if unbeatable a couple of weeks back starting price $1-60. Missed the jump, all over red rover, finished out of a place. I get we are favourites, but what does it really mean. I just think this of all games is where we need to stamp our credentials and it will have nothing to do with the betting odds it will be about the 17 players putting on a masterclass and putting the Eels to the sword.

Lets reverse things if we were against the team running 1st and had

Laui
Api
Tetevano

Out. Would you think we were 50/50 to win?

Who cares Franklin what the odds are. It means nothing. It’s all about us playing our best and hopefully play better than they do. I couldn’t give a flying f**k who is out or in in, what the turnaround is all I care about is we put our best foot forward and get the job done.
