The Panthers rolled through the ruck with ease, even their wingers enjoyed the party.
Very obvious was the lack of grunt in the tackles where penrith won 80% of the collisions.
The size & aggression of T Rex & King was sorely missed & theres little doubt that Illawarra will have seen this ruck area & like their chances.
Another major factor is Foz, who though not huge in stature, loves to get in & smash the bigger players revving the team up when the game needs a lift in tempo (like the Penrith game).
Regardless of the result Friday really hoping the Seaeagles raise the intensity & put some anger into the defence.
Though there is great attacking ability in the side so many games have been won by bashing the opposition out of the game.
Would absolutely love this against Illawarra & a good chance Tooves has them ready to rip in!!
