Your team vs Penrith - our GF

[davey_farrell]

They might. Maybe wanted to avoid the media around it so named Luai at 6. However I doubt everything I just said, Benji wont drop Luai

Exactly..very frustrating king sirro

If you finish 2nd I reckon you have the easier run to the GF

play Phins at home (tough match up) but if you sneak past them you likely play a prelim against Roosters, Cowboys or Sharks. All of them are out of sorts atm

Or finish 1st and play the Roosters first up, if you win you have a likely prelim opponent against Dolphins, Knights or Rabbitohs

If he doesn’t care about the minor premiership then why has he named his strongest team?

There a possibilty if they rest most in rd 27...and they win week 1.of the semis they get a rest week 2..a lot will have only had one game in a.month,
round 26 <--> week 3

Why wouldnt you start Latu at 6, Jerome is gone, what benefit of having him start for his last game in tigers colours, Benji look to the future!!!!

If he comes out and puts on a clinic his price may go up.

I never thought of that..well I hope he gets a go though

We don't have a very good record in our last game of the season.
I think it's been 7 years since we won one?

I hadn't seen their team yet, that's what I get for commenting on a post on the first page of a thread.

I never said that the they didn't want the minor premiership, I said that the money is of little value to a team like Penrith since they are well funded, and that Ivan is probably more focused on winning the GF than the MP, as five GF wins in six years would place in the pantheon of great coaches if he's not already in the conversation.

Could come down to who they would prefer to play. The MP’s are odds on playing the Roosters who have had a few hiccups the last few weeks and they are going to be without Walker. Whereas the Dolphins can score a lot of points. There’s always the chance they don’t care either way.

Such a nice gesture.

I used to see John a lot in a past life and talk footy with him. He'd be pumped to be named.

Nice gesture, but I have to ask why are they suddenly doing this now? Seems very random.

Is it 50 years since his debut for Penrith ??

I think he passed away after the end of last season.

Probably had it planned for this round since the start of the season

Yeah thats a good point.

betting plunge on tigers
Now $2.20
Sounds like Nathan is having a rest

Would have loaded up on penrith but did my ass the last two weeks backing roosters +23.5 and then tigers +13.5 vs cowboys.. this club kills me

Yes you are correct, I looked it up. He did pass away in November last year and they had planned this. They are wearing their old choccy soldiers jerseys to commemorate it as well. With any luck they’ll play like they used to in those jerseys too! Lol

Interesting aspect to this game with the Panthers likely.to be focussing on a certain amount of points at some stage.
How Ivan manages this I dont know.
Hopefully Wahs put a big score on Manly and this might add a bit of.pressure to penrith resulting in errors or whatever
It wont be a standard prep for them come game day...most teams, i think all - just focus on their game and what they worked on thru the week on the opposition and letting the scoreboard look after itself

If we can shut down the Panthers attack and come up with a respectable loss or even better, a win (God forbid), I’ll be satisfied.

At least it won't be another spoon.

Id love for us to be in it for 80...make them work their butts off.
A tough encounter will be what Ivan wants going into the semis...and Benji too going into.offsesson.
Funny game rugby league
