Round 8: Penrith v GC

[BossleyPanther]

That’s our been our bench most of the season. I wouldn’t say it’s been a disaster.

We haven't played anyone of great significance.

We haven't played anyone of great significance.

So who is of significance? Melbourne. That's it really. Sharks are next but they were well beaten by the Broncos and we've played the Broncos. Parra were beaten by the Tigers, we've got them next week and they will be a test. I would suggest Souths and Manly are still top 8 sides as well but below last year's standard.

 

[Black Magik]

Is this the underdog round?

Every year this happens. The underdogs come out to play and the more fancied team play well below their ability.

Beware the Titan especially on home ground.

Eels and sharks both lost due to poor completions although Broncos are improving a lot over time. Eels won most stats but errors lost them the game and only by 1 point. I wouldn't write them off.

This was always the easy part of the year.

The same can't be said for what is coming

Parra
Storm
Roosters
Into the Origin period

Then still have

Roosters
Sharks
Storm
Rabbitohs
Eels

We haven't been tested yet. Had a great start but the next few months is when it gets interesting.
Going into next week full strength is a huge benefit

Eels are flat track bullies but they lift for the top sides. Being at home gets us home...But later in the year who knows

 

[Iamback]

Seems like we have a tonne of them. Spencer is pretty much all we have on the bench for good attack.

Lower grades have guys in the wrong positions with the spark

Hopgood playing well but is lock

 

[John Hamblin]

I would be very disappointed if we can't beat The Touch Football Titans. Play with the same intensity as last week and we should win well.

Interesting that we've flown Mitch Kenny up to QLD when he isn't in the final 19.
I wonder if we are flying back tonight?

Otherwise will be tight to get him back before NSW Cup at 3pm tomorrow.

You need to take 24 on away trips now.

Dragons got pumped v Parra in NSW Cup earlier in the year due to not having guys back in time. Should be fine in this case planned to fly back in the morning

[Iamback]

Wait, what?

The beat the Storm how many times in a row?

If they can't bully teams they struggle

Both games they lost this year were low scoring

Their losses last year they scored

Edwards cleaned up 3 or 4 tey scoring oppurtunities already..

The man is a freak.

 

[BossleyPanther]

Far out

 

[Karnivayne]

Staines is awful, shouldn't be anywhere near this team at full strength.. even at half strength... shocking, adds nothing at all

 

[Girds89]

Been a knock on that since the start of time lol

God the refs are just laughable

You must not have watched many games this year then?

 

[Port Panther]

Lots of errors
