Penrith resting players

[diedpretty]

I'm really hoping resting the entire team comes back to bite penriff on the arse. Hoping Warriors lose both games and broncs and sharks both lose 1. Penriff would have jumped in to 4th with 2 wins. Then again what would be even better would be penriff reserves grade beating dogs - that would make my weekend.

Remember the good ole days when in the weeks prior to the finals blokes where getting qualified for reserve grade semis by running on and off in quick succession 🤗

Somewhat tempted to go to the game tonight on the off chance that Penrith give them a run for their money..

What would we turn out if we rested 16?

Nothing would be funnier than them pulling off an upset.

He'll think all his Christmases have come at once. 🤣

Media will anoint him the 15th immortal....as long as they win.

If he's what everyone's made him out to be, then yes he should..

I am a fan of Braith Anastas analysis of Galvin... He has been very sceptical and not buying into the narrative the bulldogs have been putting out - which is refreshing compared to another former bulldogs player in James Graham, who will never say a negative thing about him..

We’d have to forfeit !

Looking forward to 80 mins of Mav Geyer

Let's hope that neither of those things happen.

Go the Panthers KOE team. 🤣

Honestly don't see the issue.

I get it sucks for the game, but after fighting there way into the 8 in what would have been a draining run - they've earnt the right to do what they like.

I know I wouldn't want to risk our players of injury going into finals, not that we ever have that worry.

I don’t think it sucks. There’s ex tigers playing who were regular starters for us. It’s giving lower ranked players an opportunity, eager for a call up for a possible GF and although up against it, you just never know. Bulldogs could stink it up under pressure (wishful thinking).

I got a sneaky 10 on panthers at $7.

Let's see what the young Pennies can do, they've surprised before.

NRL can't have Penrith win this..

Here comes my conspiracy theory hat...

Anyone else notice Penrith barely make contact with the dogs attack, and the ref is calling held? It forces the Penrith players off the attacker... Faster game.. not good for a nsw cup side..

Interpretation vs black and white rules.. this is why they do it... They can control the flow of the game

Galvins a one trick pony isnt he...

The fix was in as soon as this Panthers side was selected.
I would suspect the NRL were hoping for a huge blowout to teach them a lesson.
