Team v Panthers

Do or die.

Unchanged line up for mine. Maybe Mateo for Bakuya.

As much as I'd prefer Townsend to Leuluai, I think it might be too disruptive to make another change in the halves.

The bloody Panthers, of all teams. I am not sure if I can deal with them ending our season two years in a row

leave Mateo in reserve grade, he would have never got aggressive yesterday. He just goes through the motions hoping he doesn't have to tackle, while feeling sorry for himself that he's a halfback trapped in a forwards body

Surely only Bird should get suspended.

Has a player even been suspended for retaliating by doing exactly what the other bloke had just done to him, unprovoked? I can't remember it happening. Would be disgraceful.

Yeah, from the slow mo replays it looks like neither him or Bird connected anyway. Classic Greg Bird, people should be exempt from punishment when lashing out at him, he has such a smashable face!!!

Laumape was looking a bit tender after those 2 attempts at catching/batting back bombs in the second half, he might be out for injury anyway?

I agree with same team unless injuries force change. Bit torn on CT/TL as I was rating Chad in his improving game to game (before the last couple of 'mares) whereas TL just hasn't seemed to recover the form he was hitting last year.

I just want a win. I don't care how grubby or undeserved, a win would rool the skool. Plus my mate is over in Sydney for work this coming fortnight so will be heading to the game as well, so it would be nice for him too, heh.

I'd get Mateo in for Bakuya. Otherwise unchanged unless injury or suspension. If Laumape or Manu are out we are in serious trouble. NO depth to cover them at all, and they've both been performing really well.

Yeah, edges will be up for some serious exploitation if we need rookies, players out-of-position or walking wounded on the wings. A bit of a worry, but just wait & see I guess.

i would not play mateo.
we need all our work horses to combat Ivan's. Theres no room in this team for half assed defence and moody players like Mateo. Penrith will play hard and for 80.

We need around 30 points to beat Penrith, Mateo may have to come in with off loads would be the only change.
It's not going to be a classic 10-8 finals style game but a 32-28 type game

You would replace a player who helped us win last week with one who helped us lose the week before?
