Should be a good game. Could either be a thrashing to Storm OR a close win to Panthers. Few people have actually tipped Penrith in this clash including Adjudicator from Fox Sports. No team news as of yet. Will post it when I find out. However I have some conspiracies and rumours for you. Storm - Cooper Cronk is supposedly playing and Billy Slater is in doubt. Panthers - Waterhouse still in doubt unknown whether he will play yet. Jarrod Sammut did not play for Windsor today, possibly could be playing 5/8 for Penrith but he is probably still injured.
LATE CHANGES Panthers - Trent Waterhouse will play despite a quad strain, Ryan Walker and Frank Puletua will drop off the bench. Storm - Billy Slater has been battling a sinus problem, but caught an early morning flight and is expected to play, halfback Cooper Cronk's been cleared to start for the first time this season. Not 100% just yet but am pretty confident this is what will happen.
Nah, he hasn't signed yet. I think Sammut must still be injured. Lewis will play 5/8. Edit: Storm should win but I wouldn't count out the might Penrith until the 2nd half
Still going 36 - 22 to Storm with 5 to go . Defence has been weak from Penrith, a lot of shirt grabbing. Edit: Scored as I was typing
Will miss most of the first half, due to F1. I expect by the time I turn it on we'll be 16+ down. Melbourne are a bad team for us.
The last lot of information was wrong. Here is the correct information for the game today. PENRITH Cooper in for Waterhouse. The information I relied on earlier came from 2GB, last time I trust them. Coote, Gordon, Jennings,Purtell, Elford, Lewis, Walsh, Grant, Kingston, Civoniceva, Cooper, Plum, Paulo. Bench; Iosefa, Bell, McKendry and Puletua STORM Slater, MacDougall, Nielsen, Inglis, Quinn, Finch, Smith, Tolman, Hinchcliffe, Lime, Cahill, Proctor, Lowrie. Bench; Tandy, Norrie, Bromwich and Cronk.
