Great article, and it is 100% accurate.

Matty Johns article is spot on - but that other dribbler lost me.

The Panthers play the Raiders tonight in one of the first true blockbusters of the season
C'mon mate, we had the Grand Final replay 2 weeks ago, Roosters v Rabbits the same weekend, Storm v Eels in Rnd 2, Storm v Rabbits in Rnd 1. All Prelim Final calibre matches.

Raiders are up there too, no doubt, but they've been making middle of the pack teams look good so far in 2021 - and have yet to face a test like we'll give them.

I agree it will be a cracking match, but let's drop the hyperbole that this season has been nothing but one sided floggings.

Which one? There's a few.

If we win this, with our draw ahead for the next month or so, we 'Should' be 10-0 .. Wow!
I see us at absolute worst case being 7/10. But there's a great chance we're on 9 or 10 wins at round 10.

Raiders our toughest game.
Broncos look like a gift 2 points and f/a boost
Knights look pretty easy now too. See if Ponga fixes that but I doubt it
Sea Eagles would be doing well to keep us to less than 50
Sharks we should beat, but not an easy win.
Titans likewise

Only 3 games I am worried about, and only one of those is actually a legitimately good team that will be challenging us for a top 4 spot. The others are just good enough to maybe be a spoiler

We defeated the Storm, we can do the same against the Raiders.
