Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Panthers

[Vasco]

If Tupou doesn't drop that easy one and we don't concede a soft 6A, then maybe we would have only been down 12-0.

From that moment Penrith would have been unstoppable for any team in the NRL.

With some fair calls in the second half, we may have gone close.

But at the end of the day none of those things happened so we move on to Manly this week. I think we'll beat them comfortably, but anything can happen.

If we win this week, I think we'll put in a strong showing against Melbourne. It will be played in Sydney so that is a big plus. Even more so if at the SFS.

Easts to win.

Looks like Vasco is correct,just saw this..

The Storm will play the winner of the Roosters and Sea Eagles clash at Allianz Stadium, which will be held on Saturday night.

No way can that be right, storm get to play at home.

[sparrow]

Yes I think thats how it works. Winner of first week that goes straight through to prelim final gets to host week 3.

Where do the Panthers play then? I’m sure they said that last Friday night was the last game at the Penrith stadium.

I'd say Homebush or Allianz. They get home state as they only play the prelim finals at the bigger stadiums.
