Round 23 v Eels

[globalpanther]

even though Parra are not in contention - i consider this a big game for the team - the big games we've had this year we've really turned up and performed well (Storm Rnd 1 the exception)

i think the Eels will make it a battle in the first 40 but i expect us to dominate from then on.

Penrith 13+

Think you’re right with tight match.

 

[globalpanther]

Fines only for both Tago & Yeo.

 

[globalpanther]

So both good to go.

I just saw another person wearing a Panthers jersey. Where I live it's rare to see any jerseys

Are you going Friday night Hindy?

Are you going Friday night Hindy?

No. I've not been to a game since 2021. I like to watch it on TV at home.
I tell a lie I went to Leichhardt this year but only cause it's a 2km walk and I wanted to check it out as never been. For those who haven't been it's a great experience.

 

[Kilkenny]

I must say I miss the spontaneous celebrations that followed when your team scored a try or thought they did.

I understand why we have the bunker, but i can’t help feeling it detracts from the game more than what it was originally intended for.

One without
Hopgood,Moses, Jnr Paulo, Sivo, Simmonson, Guymer. Kelma might be back.
It's a weekend side.

So missing Moses and a bunch of reserve graders. No big deal.

Hopgood played origin.
And yes the others may be average but have a look.at their replacements. We have a guy from your Ron Massey cup team

Parramatta is the most dangerous 2nd last placed team perhaps ever. If they get a head of steam and keep their score moving they can beat any team. Their biggest problem - even without the injuries - is if the game is tight or things start to go a little against them, they crack and fold. Other than Gutho, their entire team has no ticker. Literally the antithesis of the Panthers.

I totally agree. They appear to have the game plan that unsettles Penrith too. Been this may (in my memory) since at mid 90's.

Short week. Will be a very tough game, Parramatta at home, desperate.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Will be another training run

 

[Iamback]

Will be another training run

Nah we will phone in the win as is the case this year

 

[maple_69]

Knights game we seemed to be focussing on getting the ball out to that right edge to get some fluency. I think most of these games we are red hot favourites in Ivan is looking to work thorough particular parts of our game because he has that luxury with our 7/10 being a win against most.

I don’t care if we flog the Eels, just get the 2 points, keep working on that right edge and continue getting those halves combining.

must be a winner just give him the ball lol

 

[hindy111]

I want Parra to win cause I dont want the spoon yet I want Penrith to win the minor premiership. Tricky situation

Pretty much. Exactly like last week. We played a very different style than usual last week. Ivan knows we have the luxury of treating these games as opposed sessions to try shit out. Then just turn it on if we have to to get the points.

Tigers aren't getting another win this year. You are safe.

Highly unlikely that the Tigers win 2 more games this year.

They'd only need 1 win if the F/A tightens up. Its 86 points which is a tall order. Only thing in their favour is that they have a bye and can't lose to that while Parramatta could potentially leak enough points in their games.

You need not worry the tigers will struggle to win another game this year
