Round 9 - Penrith Panthers - Pre Game discussion

[I bleed Maroon]

Penrith had a win today but it was far from convincing against the Sharks. Missing plenty of players which are crucial to their side, I reckon we'll get over them handily at home.

Kind of shows how closely the match was watched ,hey ? It was a bits and pieces Penrith that faced the in form Sharks and in typical fashion, the Sharks turned up without the determination of previous weeks. It happens to the best teams, everyone is tipping you, everything points to a win, you've just beaten the comps best and you just spent a week reading how great you are. Then you go to the ground and someone left the desire in a bag in a dressing room locker ! Someone forgot to tell the Panthers they couldn't win and they DID remember to bring a bag of desire !

I think we will not make the same error, the error we made playing those impostors,the Staints....

 

[Super Freak]

Hopefully McGuire will hold onto the ball this time...

 

[Socnorb]

Hopefully McGuire will hold onto the ball this time...

McGuire just ran 290m to score under the posts. He probably won't have his breath back next week.

He showed some toe for a prop, or more to the point acceleration, I was impressed.

 

[Splinter]

Soward and Segeyaro should both be back for this match, it will be no walk in the park

 

[Morkel]

I was surprised how quickly Peats gave up.

 

[lynx000]

Yes me as well Morkel

 

[Super Freak]

Panthers will get a few players back for this clash.

I don't think Soward will be one of them. There was an update just over a week ago where Soward said there is still no return date set.

Very surprised, seeing as he is a better hooker than McCullough :P

 

[Splinter]

Yeah
What a crock of shit that argument was

I was just going on the NRL360 update of injured players from last week. Gave him a return of 3-4 weeks, which 3 weeks would coincide with our game.
Havent seen much else about it actually

We should have our fullback back for this game, and by fullback I mean the one and only Darius Boyd. Plus Kahu should be fit so there is going to be mega competition for backline spots.

Really? That's an incredible recovery if true. I hope Kahu is back too.

You got inside info?
I thought Boyd might be towards the end of May
