I wish I shared everyone's optimism. I'm nervous that this 1 will get ugly.

I am too concerned from a defensive purpose.
We have players defending on sides they are not used too and with the rookies coming in we will have raw defensive combinations.

Look on the bright side.
We will either have a long overdue win over the Sharks to celebrate or we can dig the boot into Ivan if things go pear shaped.

16 of the 17 made their NRL debut with Penrith.
Only the captain James Tamou debuted elsewhere. I wonder if that is a record!

First time 3 debutants have been named for Penrith in the same match since 1993.

If player numbers are based on jersey numbers:

Spencer Leniu - 589
Stephen Crichton - 590
Matt Burton - 591

Would I be right in saying the 2 of the 3 in 1993 were Phil Howlett & Brad Drew?

Season on the line... and we're doing something not done in over 25 years.

How did that game end up?

We have Naden on one side who is out of form in defense, a rookie out on the other side. I think this game could get very ugly. Ivan may also prove me wrong, but I recall the earlier rounds where Ivan moved Kikau...

What game(s) did he move Kikau?

I remember Blake moving to the right. I remember Jimmy and Cleary swapping sides. I cant recall Kikau on the right though.

Honestly the biggest issue back then was our attitude and those changes didnt help or hurt IMO.
