Round 4 v Storm - Sat 3pm

Well it would appear that the Panthers are feeling last weeks battle against the Storm. I did identify that would be the case in another post. Let us hope that the Storm are feeling the same even though they get another 2 days to recover. I am feeling a bit more confident if we can come out physically against their pack who knows it could be another upset
We never get luck like this.. a champion team self-exploding.. every error possible made.. we can only hope we get some of it tomorrow!
Rava is having his best game in years. Though the opposition missing it's playmaker and then losing his backup playmaker helps.

He’s still a terrible decision maker in defence, made half a dozen bad reads that just went unpunished because of errors/poor play from Penrith.

Who by the way are cooked should Yeoh/Cleary be out long term.

They aren't one of the teams I typically dislike but about now I'd prefer almost anyone beat them so they don't win 5 in a row. I think they aren't going to. I think they are behind a few teams.

Melbourne my pick to win it before a ball was kicked and I think after these first couple rounds I’d stick with that. They’ll get better as the season goes on and Stefano will be a massive point of difference compared to last year.

Melbourne vs Manly for me. If they can smooth over this thing with Cherry-Evans.

Not Penrith due to what you say. Not Dogs, Sharks, Roosters, Souths, Broncos. After that, don't really care.

Yes I agree but isn't it sad that the competition is fairly predictable this early in the season. Years ago it was a lot more difficult with the comp spread more evenly

The clubs with smart administrators are always top of the league and ahead of the curve.
No surprise sharks/Melbourne/Canterbury (Since Gus) are always trending upwards

Tigers are on an upward trajectory big time.
Who'd a thunk it? Benji and his young team on the way up.

Going backwards with a young team before going forward with the same team is something out last 4 coaches should've done.
Easy to say in hindsight, isn't it? I think Tigers are in trouble for a while yet. If this team comes good, and it's early yet, they are going to lose half of them due to salary cap issues in the next few years. But yeah, I liked the way they played against Parra and Dolphins. Gold Coast as well for that matter. I very much doubt this team playing tomorrow is going to put any others to the sword.

Big day tomorrow. If they dish up another performance like the last two and reserve grade keeps going from strength to strength, I don't think Flanno will have any choice but to make big changes. Seems Nick Tsougranis is out. Hope it's not serious whatever is wrong. He can't have been dropped. Been really impressive and getting better.

Papenhuyzen is fit to play. In my view, there was never any doubt. I'm interested to see how well Wishart plays as a starting halfback. Just for the sake of argument. Personally I think his game is more like that of a good 5/8.

Also Warbrick is back for them moving to the wing so the winger Anderson, who was injured last week moves to centre to cover for Meany. I don't think they will lose anything at all as a result of this. So much for the injury crisis.

Going to be a hard game. I just hope it doesn't get embarrassing.

Finau and Buchanan have strong carries! Yet again for Finau but he can't get a look into a losing NRL team.
Latu is a brutal hitter in defence as well. God I hope he's staying!

They are a team and then some! Good across the park. Big, strong, athletic forwards, fast outside backs, skillful halves.
