Penrith Panthers vs. Sydney Roosters - Pre-Game Discusson, Predicitions and Poll

[The Axe]

Too much class, speed, skill, fitness and desire. Let's hope Penrith remain in their slumber for another week.
Injuries may hurt us, though. Interesting week of selections

**** me Penrith is so far away.

Nah its not Loz.....its just up the road....

Oh you mean for you....

Just come back to Kingswood for a drink or three and the trip home wont seem half as far...

I didn't think FPN was as bad as people are saying. Sure, he needs to lift his workrate, but at his best, he's very dangerous. He might be lacking a little fitness, but just think back to when he was playing at 100%, he was arguably our best forward, and that offload was lethal. That kind of potential doesn't disappear overnight.

I know stats don't tell the full story, but 11 hit ups for 100 odd metres, along with 28 tackles isn't all that bad.

Awwww my sweet RoostarPrincess....i have no doubt they will do the business for you darling.
May i be so bold as to ask how old you will be turning!?

I'm over the hill... 22.

happy birthday 4 then mate! although id love the win, id rather them win on my birthday :P but then again so does everyone, coz its against St. George

[Guest]

So... We might venture down for the game. Can anyone let me know the best way to get to the game, get tickets (where's the Coq pit?), Wife wants to stay in city (is there a supporters bus?) etc. Only problem is we have to bring the Panther supporter mother in law.

Thanks

Hopefully we see a more fluid and clinical team on Sunday, no excuses this time they've got plenty of time to prepare themselves and recover.

[Guest]

Ravaged with injuries.

I'll take a win, no matter how ugly. It's always tough at the foot of the mountain.

No room for complacency if we do get in front.

[Guest]

carney better be on his game in defence. Walsh loves to kick. There will be alot of high balls coming his way!!

[Guest]

I thought the same thing. Bloody bombs galore by Walsh.

Well the pennies won today, so hopefully they'll be complacent. On the other hand, waterhouse will be back and pritchard will have had one run under his belt after today. They have a big pack, that is their strength and their backs are quick but the quickest has a knee problem which appeared to be aggravated today. So, a mixed bag for them but they will be closer to full strength than the Roosters and it is that, along with comparatively smaller and less effective props in the RW&B, that has me thinking a pennies win by not much.

[Guest]

I thought they Panthers got out of jail today.

Around the ruck, they were horrible. Such bad discipline.

[Guest]

It was a fast style of game, so im hoping for some tired Penny Panthers next week.
On another note...How good is Petero? Older than a dinosaur fossil and is still the first one there to take the hard hit-ups and still stings in defence...absolute champion!!
