I'm going. I'm taking the kids. My youngest is a Penrith supporter so he will be stoked when he finds out he's going.

I myself will be cheering on Parra (still so pissed the Cowboys couldn't get up)

But i do not expect them to win unless they can offload the ball a lot. Penrith's game style is perfect for this type of game. And they are unflappable, they stick to that structure no matter what.

Parra need huge shifts from their forwards, Moses to kick well, and then someone to break the game open out wider. And as i said, offload the ball.

@mariner4life a little worried about a couple of the Eels forwards being exploited by the Panthers halves. I think they’ve got the offload game in them, just that Panthers are better than most in crowding the tackle. So if they do get it off there are potential opportunities, but it’s a tough ask.

Lane and Papali'i and Paulo have a good offloading game, Lane especially is running good lines too.

Moses and Brown need to be on their game for Parra to stay in this.

For me Parra need to keep hitting up their big men, running good lines to smash Penrith., cant be passive just looking for space against the riff otherwise you will get hit from everywhere

Go Penrith!

I really don't have a favourite in this match. I'll have to work out who has the most NZers (who want to play for NZ) and then support that team.

[Bovidae]

The Eels haven't won since 1986 (when Sterling still had some hair) so surely the neutrals have to support them. Also, I read that Penrith are going for the clean sweep of titles this season.

Go the Panthers! Read something funny today in 86 when the Eels last won their last premiership and Top Gun was the highest grossing film on the year the other one was that neighbours premiered in 86 and ended this year.

I've made worse bets on shakier omens

I dont watch a great deal of league but I'm looking forward to this. Wife's whole family are Parra supporters, her dad grew up in Blacktown. Got a decent crew of them organised to watch this together, and a prime table booked at the Palm Beach RSL for a 6.30pm start.

Let's go Eels!!!

I first got involved following sydney league ( it was all in sydney then ) back when Parra were a powerhouse ,

Even though I was a Manly supporter , I loved watching that Parra side full of superstars ,

Price , Sterling , Kenny , Steve Ella , Mick Cronin , Eric Grothe , it was an exciting team to watch

its been so long for them , and as well as being underdogs , Im going for Parra but expect Penrith to win

[ARHS]

Just watched Todd Paytens winner speech at the Dally Ms. Wow, what an inspirational speaker and it all seemed genuine and natural. Why did the Warriors let him go?
