No. But will be ecstatic to be proven wrong.

I'm confident we can make it a contest. Think we know what's at stake and what needs to be done. I just think Penrith are a fair bit better than us and it's going to take something crazy to actually win.

Sounds like he’ll be right by the way he spoke on the Ausmericans poddy.

May as well, would take him at even 80%.

We’ll know more in an hour or so but given Wishart was wearing a panthers jersey at training you would assume Jahrome will play…hopefully anyway.

Moeroa cut from the squad … jeez if we get bashed in the forwards again there are going to be some questions asked.

Sua and Lewis also gone.

Tepai must have run too far (for Craig) when he made that line break in last round v Broncos.

Amazing amount of publicity calling our pack "Soft" or "Pop Gun" and weak. You would have to expect some sort of response from this or careers are over

Bellamy would be absolutely loving this.

For anyone who’s read Storm Cloud, he would definitely be using this to motivate his forwards.

I don’t understand the love for Morera on here?

Sure he’s had the odd good game - spell but he’s also prone to an error and I’m not sure of his fitness to make the efforts CB expects.

The Broncos game he played well in was their reserves. Joe Chan actually looked better.

We need more power in the forwards agreed but not sure Moera is the answer..

We should also have Faalongo at 14.
