We'll see Phil, we'll see. I love that we are getting written off by the media.
Given performances against the Bulldogs got Moses and Best into the NSW side, isn't that the yardstick for some reason? We scored exactly the same against them as the Panthers but conceded just 6 more points despite having half our team out and Penrith being at full strength.
We both played that team one week after the other and within the last two weeks. Isn't that a better comparison?
Additionally, Penrith can be vulnerable against a team that can bring serious aggression and we ourselves just belted the preseason favourites who tried to do exactly the same against us.
We've already beaten Penrith this year and ran them close in the return leg save for an interesting non-double movement try.
Only one team has beaten us convincingly, we've been in every other game, Penrith was beaten by Wests.
This team is not as unbeatable as Phil would like us to believe. And the reality is, when you speak as much as Gould does, you are going to get something right eventually and he has made a career out of it.
This though, is not one of those times.
