Little if any chance

I have read/watched just about every news article, blog, and podcast and everyone is predicting a comfortable Panthers victory. Has anyone else noticed this?

Most would be worried by this but this is exactly what will suit the Eels as they are at their best with the "backs against the wall mentality".

  • Very few people, especially in the media are giving us a chance.

    Most people think it's a forgone conclusion that Penref will won and win well.

    • The boys need to channel that and go out and smash the Panthers into submission.

      It's likely going to be a soggy track so not great for offloads and I think it will come down to who has the best defence (ie; smash them into submission) and doesn't give up. The boys need to have a seige mentality and tackle them into the ground. Give the Panthers no room to move and suffocate them with RIDICULOUS defensive pressure. I think that will be the key to their success.

      GO PARRA!!!

  • Totally agree Matt.  I live in the Penrith area and they are not considering losing. Very confident and somewhat arrogant. But they are built on this mentality of winning is expected as you see by the number of theirt junior teams that won their respective competitions.  That is ingrained in them through the successful pathways. Most of the current team as we know have played for many years in teams and winning was normal. 

    WE can certainly beat them. I loved the low key reactions after the final. Hardly over the top.  WE must start fast, lead and hold on.  Very doable. Our start is the critical thing. 

    • Life in Penrith as well Paul lot of my mates are panthers fans and there being really arrogant it'll be funny when they lose on Sunday 😂

    • Need to get to 16pts before Penrith, if they can do that we win.

    • Bailey Simonsson played in a GF with the Raiders. 

      • Jr Pauo as well

        • What GF did Paulo play in Collaroy Eel?

          • Stand corrected .. thought he was with the Raiders the year they made the GF

  • I have a mate who is a passionate Panthers supporter who lives in the mountains. I had a discussion with him today.They are super confident.No distractions at all.Focus completely around how they are going to destroy us with playing football 

    confident.no

"Start Samrani either centre or wing. He smashed the sharks and the chooks. Was fast, tackle-busting and once he set his eyes on the try line it was curtains for the opposition.
I'd start him on the wing as not to disrupt Rusty and the combos set up…"
