[betcats]

Not many posts here get me in a genuine extended fit of laughter. Very nice @betcats.

Thanks i had a nice little giggle myself

Tago, Hopgood, maybe Falls during origin would be my guess. No more than a game or two for each. There are plenty besides those that could debut if we needed it through injurues but I think Tago will get a game because he just looks to good for that level, Hopgood because Yeo will play origin and its a chance to get him some minutes and Falls is a possible if both halves get picked, he is probably the best goalkicker at the club right now and plays like Nathan.

Edit: ALso Salmon is a chance if he is fit, his form in NSW cup has been very good.

Lindsay Smith is very close to being picked

If Luai plays SOO I reckon Falls debuts. May's role is too important off the bench

If Moylan plays, put Liam Martin on as a starter.

He's their only chance to beat us. I know it's cool to hate on Moyza here but he's smoked us most the time and shits allll over SJ

I’d like to see Lindsay get a run. We have some good young middle forwards coming through with smith, hopgood, tanner and Liam Henry looks like another one, he was impressive albeit against a well beaten Blacktown.

The big backrower goes well, I know he’s 29 but if we had some injuries he could probably do the job.

Is it a bizarre feeling for anyone else going into most games as an overwhelming favourite? Having followed the Panthers for 33 years, this is very much the exception.

Yeah it’s definitely a bizarre feeling as a Penrith fan. We are winning at every level right now it’s extremely pleasing but definitely not what I am used to.

Smith by half time on the weekend had run 110 meters .he will not let us down if picked

It's been bizzaro year for a whole load of reasons.

But yes, against the Sharks of all teams. I was terrified of them just a few years ago. All those gun ex Panthers always put a bit extra in against us.

By next season I think we will be more worried about losing the young middle forwards we can’t fit in the side rather than worrying about our depth in the middle, a lot of the guys in cup might be young and raw now but they are clearly talented and working hard given the results.

Yep... It's a weird feeling - Even when I'm confident (as I am in this game), there's the Panthers fan inside me, standing in the corner throwing Tooheys New cans telling me to wake up.

I hope those Tooheys cans are full when you’re lobbing them cause I’d be worried about you if you were drinking that stuff

Ha ha! Yeah I don't tell many people, but became attached when I was posted to Darwin (anything cold is considered good up there).

But please, don't judge me because of this monumental lapse in character...

Can ball play too very handy player

The Flegg side has even more.

Tonga is a beast and only SG Ball age

Yep. It's definitely taken getting used to. Manly last week was the first time I wasn't anxious pre game.

Hahaha we will give you a pass!

I’m more confident in this game than I have been for the last few, can’t see them having anything at all for us! I hope Moylan plays, he crumbled last time Martin was coming at him and I can only see the same happening

 

[tripster]

From their team of last week, Braden Hamlin-Uele is also injured (and has been very good for them off the bench). Their team is only weaker than the team that lost last week. Very hard to see them matching it with us. Like others have said, the first half might end up being close, but I expect a blow out late in the game, particularly given it is at Penrith on a Friday night.

I'd love to see Staines have a similar game to when he debuted against the Sharks last year.

 

[panther.mike]

We can only beat ourselves........overconfident thinking this one will be easy and Moylan and Wade will pull our pants down.

 

[GongPanther]

I am NEVER very confident. Sharks are very capable of pulling down our pants. Especially with Moylan in the team. Their niggle is also a worry.

My eyes hurt.
