Panthers with a couple of injuries looks like a softer team then I was expecting. We look better on paper.

Sharks 26-10

George Jennings on the wing in place of Josh Mansour (knee). His brother Robert isn't so lucky because Dean Whare is back from his hamstring complaint meaning the youngest Jennings drops back to the bench. Front-rower Brent Kite is also out with Sam Anderson joining the bench and Sam McKendry starting at prop.
Paul Gallen has been named to return at lock with Jayson Bukuya dropping back to the bench and Sam Tagataese moving to 18th man.

We are alot stronger on paper.

Was cheering when I saw mansour was out but whare is back so evens things out.

 

[BlackWhiteBlue]

The first game ive been confident of us winning. Should be a good game.

 

[Tank]

Our recent record against Penrith is pretty good isn't it? The fact they are missing their halves is a bonus and Idris and Mansour being out is helpful as well. Segeyaro worries me. Top player. Always a bit worried when we are expected to win .Still think we can make it 4 on the trot though.

I think we have won every game in the last 2 years vs them?

The first game we SHOULD expect to win in about 4 weeks and we'll probably lose haha

yep. We love an underdog story dont we.

Im confident, this game is there for the taking the Panthers have massive talents out. mansour, wallace, soward, kite. We need to take advantage of this and give this game a hammering. Good margin and we could move up the ladder a few more places.

 

[Matty C of the Shire]

Should be a good game.

I hope the weather fines up and head to the game on Sunday (hopefully not too hung over). Or I'll just head to the sharks locker room

Only thing that slows him down is a good whack on the schnoz

If we could get one of our forwards to sidestep at the last minute so he cops a stray hip ...

bad start skeksis

 

[CrazyMatt]

I'm happy this game is at Penrith instead of Bathurst this year seeing as I live near there now. I rate is a good shout of winning.

 

[Thresher]

I haven't seen 'Goodbye Penrith Hello Sharks' post on here for a long time, hope he hasn't swung back the other way
