Dynasty isn't over.


All three of those opponents started the season in the top 6 of premiership betting, many had picked a Roosters v Broncos GF.

Read an article on the weekend that said grand finals aren't won in March, but Panthers fans could probably start picking where they want to sit.

We should have put 40 on the board in round one, ball handling was really sloppy, but Friday's game was excellent, they picked their target in Sam Walker and were relentless in their pursuit of him.

Blaize Talagi has come on in leaps and bounds and could make the NSW train on squad, as could Casey McLean, Billy Phillips looks like an Isaah Yeo clone, and Tom Jenkins is keeping a multiple premiership winning international on the bench.

This is before you get to Cleary, Yeo, Edwards, To'o, Martin, Leota etc, etc, etc.


Bizza's try. :lol:

We traditionally have some hard fought games.
Penrith should win comfortably but hope we can put up a decent fight

Yeah, well that was ugly. We were simply uncompetitive

It's not the first time this year an opposition team has looked like witches hats, and it won't be the last, either. They look as good as I've seen them play in the last 6 years.
I reckon Ivan took it personally when a journo asked him if it was all over after the prelim loss to Brisbane last year.

Would be a hard watch as a Parra fan, watching Talagi & Papalii star for Penrith.

Nice to see the Storm concede 50, too. No team has ever won the comp after conceding 50.

We could lose most of the team come Origin.

Jarome Luai and Alex Johnston become PNG's first two signings for 2028.

Johnston was an obvious candidate, given his PNG heritage, but Luai is a bit of a surprise. Good signing though

All tax free, too, be interesting to see who's next.
