Round 25 v Storm @ AAMI Park

[franklin2323]

I am not meaning to be all negative about this, but I don’t see any result other than us being comprehensively beaten.

We have defensive weaknesses all over the park, particularly down Mansour’s side, and having Maloney back will help our attack, but will present another defensive weakness.

Storm will ruthlessly target those weaknesses. Smith will take great pleasure in the ease at which he will direct his team in the direction of our weaknesses and watch us unravel. He will rub our faces in our shitty goal line defence by never taking the 2 once and getting his team across the try line nearly every time they get down our end.

The only way that won’t happen is if Ciraldo has somehow worked miracles and corrected our defensive problems within a week. The other possibility is that we somehow never give the Storm any possession down our end. That’s just as likely as unicorns being real.

It is amazing this same side didn't concede a try 2 weeks in arow

Slater won't play tomorrow night.

 

[Thirsty Panther]

So Storm are missing:
Slater
Vunivalu
Asofa-Solomona
and question marks on:
Hoffman
Munster
Short of Smith being rested we couldn't ask for better.
I still don't like our chances thou.

 

[franklin2323]

If we are ever going to beat them down there this is the chance

Agree. and if we are going to have a real go at the semis it has to start with this game.

[FireFalcons1]

With all these players out for the Storm, will this finally be the season where Penrith finally wins at AAMI park?

please please please ....

 

[Fangs]

I just want us to put in a decent performance. Restore some faith in your loyal fans Penrith.

Next week is a whole new competition. We can get off to a good start with a decent performance tomorrow.

That is all I want. Put their bodies on the line in defence

Freddy was 100% correct about how dumb we are. Glad to see him say it and being close to Gus means they must of worked it out

I'm feeling strangely optimistic about this game now. Have absolutely zero reason for it.

Same.

Absolutely no reason to be optimistic. We look cooked. But 2018 has been a funny year for all the teams.

I am generally pessimistic about our chances however for some reason also think we could turn it around this week.

I thought that last week.

CHN out (concussion), Hetherington in.

If penrith are smart they would not only try and win the game so we can guarantee a home semi but try and injure a few of those storm troopers cause we might have to play them at some stage during the finals
