Round 23 v Roosters @ Aussie Stadium

[choc_soldier]

The showdown. Grand final replay, round 2.

Who will come out the winner? Either way, it promises to be an absolute blockbuster.

PANTHERS - Too many adjectives to describe our performance against Manly. That performance truly showed that why we are the defending premiers. By far our most damaging performance of 2004. Good form to be in running into this game...

ROOSTERS - Uncharacteristically sluggish against the Sharks. They never seemed to be in it. But it seems that they are perhaps ready to turn the corner, and fire up. Could it be against the Panthers?

The Panthers are coming into this match on the back of a damaging performance, the Roosters coming off a demoralising loss.

We have the wood on the Roosters in the past few years. That much is known. But it is extremely rare for the Roosters to register 2 consecutive losses.

Expect fireworks. If this game does not attract over 30,000, then a huge injutice will have been served.

This has just as much potential as the Round 4 encounter - even more maybe. I can't talk it up enough!

I expect the trend to continue... but this time, the margin will be narrower.

Panthers in golden point. ;-)

Friday the 13th, yes.

Penrith by 9. Disappointing that I am going to miss this match but I will definately be cheering delayed in my loungeroom on the night. ;-)

Because of the ref or video ref?

Someone said on the Panthers site that we have played 4 games under Hampstead this year for 4 victories.

 

[bamber]

anyone know if we can listen to the game on the net? looking at 2gb site, it looks as though their not covering it.

Late inclusions into roosters line up:

Justin Hodges
Shannon Hegarty
Michael Crocker


THis is a stupid rule. YOu should not be allowed to make late changes like that if a player is not injured in the starting 17. If think they will play, then name them on an extended bench. THis is a stupid rule and should be rectified

 

[Fibroman]

Roosters will try anything to get an unfair advantage. That's just the way those yuppie gymps play the game unfortunately.

 

[Tupac Shakur]

The only good player out of them is Michael Crocker and maybe Hegarty.

 

[mightypanther]

It was those poofy white shorts and socks that did the damage I reckon.

If you look like poofs.........you tend to play like poofs...... :roll: :lol:

Hey that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it....... #-o :mrgreen:

Yikes PP, that must be a dent to your pride wearing that filthy avatar! Wouldn't catch me wearing it

 

[Wobbygong]

Penrith were absolutely embarrassing, they should refund all their supporters for that first half effort. They are no hope of defending their title.
