Team vs Panthers

Also I will be pissed off if we downgrade Friend's contract yet still re-sign JBro.

Not really, I hope we have downgraded Friends contract big time (and it seems he has definitely had to take less money) and that they don't re-sign Ropati. That is money that is going to have be thrown at Johnson most likely and Friend was in no place of bargaining power with Tomkins coming here.

So we are missing two genuine front-line players right - Fish and Packer. No drama, Laumape and Matagi are proving solid cover. We basically have a very healthy squad and changes in the last month or two have been minimal. Playing an injury depleted Penrith, at home, and firmly in the last chance saloon, we have absolutely no excuse to lose this. If we do, Elliot can piss off, Mannering should no longer be captain, and I'll see y'all at World Cup time.
