Penrith v Parramatta [Week 2 finals, 2021]

[globaleagle]

Well... only one other game hence the title.

Discuss how much the panthers will beat the Eels by here....

 

[Eagle 1]

That side of the draw, Melb, Riff and eels. Melb will probably advance through, albeit battle weary though !!....mmm.

 

[simon64]

I wouldn't be counting the Panthers out yet.

The should beat the Worms pretty comfortably and the Storm can be rattled.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them in the GF.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

If Manly surprises everyone and beats Chooks and Souths, then I think the ideal result is certainly to meet Panthers in the GF. Aside from some psychological scars that Storm probably left on some of our guys, Panthers will have had just as hard a battle to get there as Manly. Maybe harder, not only playing each week but the big Eels pack is ready to rumble so that won't be a walkover and they can get past Storm but it would be a titanic sruggle. Leaving the Pennies a bit battered and pooped.

 

[The Who]

I'm looking forward to watching more of King Gutho's "drop-kicks".

 

[Tragic Eagle]

I have a feeling that if Parramatta can whether the Storm (pardon the pun) and get into an arm wrestle with the Panthers they are a real chance. Penrith are under pressure after the shock loss last week.

It's in reverse order though. They have to beat Penrith first.

 

[Jerry1]

If the eels beat the panthers Melbourne will be ****ting themselves.
Could be a Manly Para final.

'Both clubs hate each other': All on the line in western Sydney derby

Scour through the list of former players who represented Penrith and Parramatta in their careers and the crossover between both western Sydney clubs hasn't been as prominent until more recently.

Penrith and Parramatta will reignite one of rugby league's fiercest rivalries in Saturday night's do-or-die semi-final, and only a select few know what it's like to be one both sides of the divide.

There have been 92 players who have lined up for both Western Sydney clubs over the years since Penrith joined the big league in 1967, including four ex-Panthers in the current Parramatta squad – Reagan Campbell-Gillard, Bryce Cartwright, Waqa Blake and Will Smith.

Others include the likes of former international Michael Jennings, 300-gamer Geoff Gerard, premiership winners Paul Dunn and David Liddiard, as well as Andrew Leeds, Matt Adamson, Gary Freeman and Frank Pritchard.

Edwards is fullback, naden has replaced To'o. Panthers 13+

 

[globaleagle]

Ah, oops. thank you!

 

[Cioran]

The Eels Knights match was nowhere near the quality of the Panthers Bunnies so, hopefully, the Panthers should have their measure. Manly win plus Eels loss would make this a great weekend.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Penrith will bounce back , bye bye Slime!!

 

[globaleagle]

lots of 'on reports' and .... well I don't wanna say injuries but er.. so hopefully a big tough bruising overtime game.

Get into 'er!

 

[Rafferty]

Well South’s showed how to frustrate Penrith, I think Parra are capable of doing something similar, question is will they?

Pretty sure it will be a bruising encounter any way you look at it and I wont be the least bit surprised if the slime pull off the upset. I’m looking forward to the game, theres only 4 left for the year, I love finals footy but hate the fact the season is coming to an end.

 

[The Who]

I think Penrith will win and I'm hoping so as the RL world would love to see the two best teams over the past two seasons meet in a finals match, even if it is not the GF.
While one on them will be the overwhelming favourite to win the GF upsets do happen, especially in the big matches.

 

[JBW]

If Penrith turn up to play they'll win this by plenty, the squeels backs can't defend and Burton, Crichton, Liam Martin and Kikau will have a field day.

BUT, Parras forwards can produce a siege mentality and if they can get on top you never know..it's a big if though..

 

[manlyfan76]

Bash the F out of each other please
Extra extra time too

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Panthers I think will try and start fast they can play an up tempo game , Eels won’t be able to go with them , I’m expecting a similar result to last nights game Panthers by plenty

 

[Jerry1]

Go para… did I just say that.. I’d like to beat these flogs in the final.
