[Didgi]

We lost to them last time, considering the team changes since then based on that we shouldn't win, I think we definitely have a good chance though, particularly if Luke Lewis doesn't play. Happy that they haven't selected Seluini while Purtell is still there.

panthers by 13

 

[goosie]

cows $1.68 to win panthers $2.15 lol gotta get on the panthers at the price sorry guys.

 

[Talanexor]

Where's Coote?

Yeah, I agree Penrith look good value at $2.15 but i still think the Cows will win this one. We've won 2 from 3 without Thurston, recently - I think the boys are finally starting to learn to win without him. Also, Bowen's been on fire lately.

 

[Didgi]

Coote has a bung ankle I think, another 2-3 weeks.

 

[goosie]

walker will be fine on the wing i just hope harry has a cracker and gets good ball to jennings and walkers side of the field they will have a field day on the left

 

[Charlie124]

Jeeeezz thats a terrible looking Panthers lineup, have they been like that all year? If we're switched on we should win this one easily.

Are you kidding? Our right edge has been secure all year. it used to leak like a sieve in years gone by, but with Tariq Sims, Thompson and Tate there, not a lot gets through.

I think the panthers would be better off using Seluini around the ruck. Our defence in the middle has been really sloppy in recent weeks.

 

[Desert Qlder]

As a fan of what A Sims has done this season it pleases me to see him rewarded with a starting berth. Yet I feel the side gains more from his impact value off the bench.

It's difficult to understand why he's decided not to start with Tamou these last couple of weeks, particularly given the success him and Scott have had this season. Perhaps he feels he needs one or the other on the field at any given time.

Is this what happened last week? My memory fails me.

 

[Didgi]

Yes, it was the same last week. Tamou has been going really well, we''ve missed to go forward when they're both off the field so it's a good move IMO to have him coming on while Scott is off.

Yep, that's how they ran out last week.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Yep, that's how they ran out last week.

Yeah I know. What I meant was was one of Tamou and Scott on the field for the whole game.

 

[Shorty]

So we meet again, Goosie!

 

[Guvner]

Where does Bolton fit back in? So much forward depth for NQ.

 

[Didgi]

I think a week or two and he'll be back in for Hall, dependant on form of course.

 

[Didgi]

As no doubt many have seen, on the website the team is supporting National Tree Day, pictured modelling some ghastly green socks. Any word on whether they'll be wearing these or it's just a Toyota thing.

Pretty sure they'll be wearing them.

 

[goosie]

Hey shorty we do indeed!! with all our injuries are you ready for another whooping haha ;P

 

[Silent But Deadly]

Cowboys should be too good for the Panthers without Coote and Burns. Tariq, Tonga and Bowen will be the difference.
