[Big Pete]

The annual 'if only' round of tipping where half the results are decided by late omissions.

Outside of Brisbane, looking forward to Manly/Cowboys and Roosters/Storm. I just hate how the latter is on a Monday night.

 

[Big Pete]

Team-Lists Updated

Penrith welcome back Josh Mansour and Peter Wallace.

Chris Sandow replaces Luke Kelly at halfback. Former Broncos U/20s player Daniel Alvaro will make his debut off the bench.

Kieran Foran returns for Manly in place of Daly Cherry-Evans.

Tomkins & Vatuvei return for the Warriors. Havili replaces Leuluai and Ikahihifo comes into the side off the bench.

 

[Unbreakable]

G.Burgess benched for T.Burgess? Interesting..

I dunno how Johnthan Wright is playing in the NRL, surely one of these young NZ outside backs would be better than him for the Warriors.

 

[Big Pete]

Panthers
Rabbitohs
Broncos
Cowboys
Warriors
Dragons
Roosters

 

[Porthoz]

Panthers
Tits
Broncos
Cows
Warriors
Dragqueens
Grubs

 

[Big Pete]

Big game for both teams.

If Parra can't win here, it's curtains for 2015.

Penrith have the opportunity to make a statement and announce themselves as a top team with a near full-strength side.

[Big Pete]

If Soward is any chance of making Origin, he destroys Parramatta tonight.

 

[Super Freak]

Too easy for the Eels there.

Nice try.

 

[Super Freak]

2 tries to Eels in 3 minutes.

Great start.

 

[Super Freak]

Moylan is gone.

Just keeps getting worse for Panthers.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Moylan in trouble.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Welp, put a line through Penrith this year

 

[Super Freak]

Great work from Hoppa there to deny Blake.

 

[Big Pete]

The Eels are whooping Penrith. Their forwards are completely out-playing them, Sandow is holding up his end of the bargain and the Panthers just can't get anything going. They really miss Mansour, Whare, Idris and especially Moylan out there. The likes of Waqa, R. Jennings and Watene-Zelezniak look the goods but all require more seasoning and have technical issues. To make matters worse, the Penrith forward pack has been unsighted and been bullied here by the Eels.

Eels game to lose here and I'm beginning to get the red pen out for Penrith's chances as a Premiership Team in 2015.

 

[Big Pete]

I don't know who's the more frustrating 'project' player.

Pauli or Blake.

Both are driving me insane right now.

 

[Big Pete]

I'm having flashbacks here.

Norman tears straight through, refuses to give it and the Broncos I mean Eels screw it up.
