we should have won by ****en 40 on friday night.
every time we got possession,the boys wanted to score a try.
we would have been beaten by 60 if we were playing the storm

we have some mental, fitness issues which need sorting out . We have key injuries.

Penrith will be pumped, our props are out of form , another Sunday game.

Jennings, Lewis, Pritchard will have a pinic on the fringes . Our defence is suspect under pressure.

Penrith by 16

Roosters by plenty

It's good to see i'm not the only one who had the same thoughts. Roosters form last Friday night was very average while the Storm were fantastic.

Put me in the same boat as the two of you - I was not impressed by the showing against the boncos. They will have to lift measurably against the pennies or experience their second loss.

Whilst i agree with these sentiments, I also believe they took the foot off the pedal in the second half and did enough to win the game.(certainly not condoning this behaviour)
They led 18-0 at the break without playing all that good of footy.I'll take the win as everyone should and look forward to Sunday.
I do agree we have to improve immensely to beat the Panthers, and believe will have a similar sort of game as last week. Just doing enough for the 2 points without setting the world on fire.

Panthers have been terrible this season and only just beat the dealers yesterday. They were my dark horse for the year but they are very inconsistent at the moment.

If we complete our sets and not turn the ball over we should hold them comfortably

[novice chook]

If we manage to nab a win here, it won't be by much.

The Panfers have looked ordinary all season, even though they've managed two wins.

We've looked ordinary as well the last 2 weeks, although we managed a win on Fri night and are 3 from 4. (Can you bloody believe that after Round 4 we are only 2 wins away from last year's total victories?)

We have plenty of injuries, they have a few as well.

It really will depend on which Roosters team mentally runs on the park - the one against the Vermin & Tigers or (God forbid) the one against the Dogs.

The game is only up the road from me but I will probably give it a miss. I've had a mental block about going to this Stadium since 2005 (nothing to do with footy) and I'm still struggling to get past it.

I may have to suffer the delayed Channel 9 coverage and Gould and his amateur cohorts yet again - how I wish the game was on Fox!

We can win, but only if our front row has a fair dinkum go. which I would love to see. We will have no excuses this week, having 3 days more time to prepare than the Panthers have. I think it will be high scoring game, close finish....Roosters 28, Panthers 24.

[Guest]

i dont like how we have both kouparitsas and jones on the bench, i think we should give the koups a brak and bring in another forward

Good to see Daniel Conn in the side, i thought he was injured.
