With probably Mahoney and Nuikore missing the Riff should be at unbeatable odds.
Parra have had a poor record when favourites but a great record when underdogs.
I think we can rise to the occasion and cause a great upset.
Our concentration will have to be there for 80 minutes and not 65 minutes as it often has been.
Now Fergo has avoided the nudie run I expect a big game from him against Mansour.
Also Blake and RCG against their former club.
Lets hope we get Grant Atkins again as ref.

I concur, lets rip the riff a new one
The injury to Reed is a blow but we will start heavy underdogs for sure, our record as favourite isn't poor by the way I'm not sure where that comes from we've won the large majority of our games this year when we've been favoutites.
Penrith have come off the boil, funny how when they win by 6 points against the Warriors its a good win, when we do its a catastrophy, but anyway.
Parra have a very good record this year against top 8 teams, you can only play whats in from of you and except for the Souths match we've been very competitive winning 5 from 7, just stating some facts.
So will we win, who knows, I hope so, odds are against us but a great test and I have a gut feeling we will aquit ourselves very well.
GO PARRA
Be careful what you hope for. We have a win record of 35.71% with Atkins. Penrith have 70.59%.
