Should have been a Souths penelety for high shot. I reckon the ref got a call to not give it.

That's 17 in a row, but they will need to be much better to win next week.

10? 16 or 17 isn't it?
17 in a row , you gotta day that’s pretty incredible !
Bring back the.... Biff?

Thats so impressive isnt it.. i think this is their GF tonight. Storm will dismantle them especially if they make over 10 errors like tonight

Different conditions tonight than last night at Suncorp.
The easy game in a finals series is too often the pre-cursor for a poor attitude the following week as the tough grind rhythm is lost.
Penrith will be better next week after having a week off last week their attack seemed a bit rushed. Also, their best forward Kikau is back.
Stylistically I think Penrith's ability to fight for every play the ball will stifle the Melbourne defence.

If they do 10 errors next week they’ll get slaughtered , if they do 2 then it’s “ game on”.

Tonights game was far more intense than the one last night. Penrith were a bit rusty after their week off and will be primed next week. It was be a Sydney centric crowd and the Drizzle will know its hostile for them, Penrith deserve to be there and I think they will have to improve on tonight and I believe they will!
He completed outplayed Cook 2nite. Will Fitler pick him as NSW hooker?
Modest Api reckons he didn't deserve his premiership ring with Souths (debatable), he'll earn it next week if Penrith get up. He's the little general of Penrith and you can see the respect the team has for him. It would be nice to see him get the bikkies next week in my opinion.
Well I can almost guarantee every member of Silvertails will be on “ team Panther” next weekend !!
I’m in , are you ???

Wow Sutton is such a bad ref. If he refs next week it'll be a wrestle-athon. No set restarts tonight and he'll be under orders not to blow any next week after his monumental brain explosion in last years GF with the 6 again. NRL won't want another controversy.

Wet grass tonight. Suncorp always is a better grd for attacking footy. ANZ is a poor grd for footy

Didn't watch the game so no 6 again restarts?
