Are there any other romantically optimistic tragics among us taking heart from some of the youthful displays of other teams this round and just ever so slightly believe that we can turn the magic round in its head, do the unthinkable and win the game ? ……………, (cue the sound of crickets)

 

[Tookey 2.0]

I'm really keen to see how the young guys get on today.

I'm gutted we've lost Tohu on top of everyone else, he's usually the glue for us. But, at the same time I'm keen to see how we respond with out our key players. Even Berry with his kick chase, it's become such a central point of our attack - do we simply try to replicate that with new parts (Tuaupiki kicking and Ali chasing) or do we put that on the back burner and try a different strategy?

Lots of youth and enthusiasm. Let's see how they handle the big occasion.

 

[janfin]

Kia Kaha you can do it .Heck I will even let you win by 1.( just joking ) It’s time for one more upset this round .

 

[Wrighty]

For the first time in my life I have tipped the opposition to win in the game day poll.

Still be cheering for the good guys though

 

[Possum11]

Too many injuries
Panthers 13+

 

[Roadrunner]

You know they said the Titanic was unsinkable and that the Panthers are unstoppable well I'm hoping the warriors pull out a big one today.God I've really woken up positive today before a game.Janfin special for me today.

 

[BrisbaneWarrior]

Going into a game with no expectations, much like last week

 

[ZyonWeOn]

Lowkey hoping for a miracle boys, let the youth have a crack! I forsee a big ali double, followed by an ale linebreak, length of the field match winning try! Up the wahs

NRL: Penrith Panthers star Taylan May arrested, charged with domestic violence, withdrawn from clash against Warriors​

 

[Kiwi In Tasmania]

Can someone tell me what Janfin stands for? I am still trying to figure it out after all these years on here and have given up

Janfin is a poster who has been a member for many many years. Every game day they faithfully predicted the warriors would win by 6 points. Which is an odd number so everyone remembered it.
Now one of the options is to predict a Janfin which is a win by 6.
It is a forum meme.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

More hyped for this game than the last 3-4. Not the ideal changes but at least we should see some hunger instead of going through the motions. With all the disruption to the Panthers team, if I was in the sheds I would be thinking maybe we could steal this game.

 

[Lance155]

Well this is going to be interesting...

 

[Inruin]

Definitely going to be an interesting watch. Lots of new combinations and inexperience against a well drilled Panthers side. Just hoping we have a red hot go today but am expecting mistakes and clunkiness to prevail. If we can start the first 10 minutes well and build from their we may get a Panthers by 1-12.... hopefully..... Hopefully not a complete blow out.

If Tago and Turuva playing Panthers right edge then our left edge defence will need to be on their game.

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Penrith might get arrested for domestic violence against us today. The odds are dire

The opportunity is Awesome.

Let's get it team. Amp up. Be aggressive. Stay the course. Expect it to be hard core. Keep your heads screwed on and stay in the game. Earn it, win it.

Up the Wahs. Warriors by 2.

We have only 1 of our normal spine playing in position, 2nd choice Centres playing and none of our halves have a long kicking game. On paper we should get beaten well especially playing such a well drilled side as the Panther. In saying that I am looking forward to this game. More to see how we go without SJ.

Would love to see Ali put his mark on the game and give Webster a headache around who he needs to drop for him. Hopefully TMM gets some confidence out of this game so he can start owning the left side when SJ gets back. Really hope we can keep it close but expecting us to lose by 18.

 

[Bluecat]

I'm looking forward to seeing how we go without Johnson running every play and at how the new guys and combinations go. First game with the line up so it will take time to gel but hopefully they will work it out.
Im not confident but we have seen some of the other teams overcome senior players being out recently so hopefully we can lift for the game.
Let's gone Wahs!!
