Round one v Cowboys (away)

[c-b-b]

Is this another imagined rivalry created by the media. Just like “Des is facing his old team at fortress Brooky”. Players come and go from clubs all the time.

 

[Moedogg]

Thats the worst photoshoped version of Burton in dogs gear...

What the article actually said:

"Premiers Penrith will launch the season on the Thursday night at their home ground against a Sydney rival, possibly former teammate Matt Burton’s Canterbury. "

 

[Disposable Hero]

Its a good indication the club is dragging itself out of the NRL shithole. Opening game of the season is great.

Imo the first game of the year should be a replay of previous years gf, so
Penrith v souths
And the other top 6 teams play each other
Manly v melb
Chooks v eels
Sharks vs titans

Enough about your plans tonight...what are your thoughts on the game?

 

[Dingo]

Come out guns blazing and ambush the cats

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Surely this is a gee up. Start the season with last seasons first v last. Which genius came up with that?

Only one problem. There is no Panthers Stadium. It's BlueBet Stadium.

I actually wouldn't be suprised if the put Panthers up against Storm in a grand final rematch.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

It's like 2009 guys ... We will fuck the riff up just like we did to premiers Manly

Considering the storm weren’t in the grand final I’d doubt it

Rd 1 Panthers side without Burton, TPJ, Naden and Cleary, Capewell, Momirovski looks very different and beatable, especially when the first 3 mentioned are now on our side.

Or the final round of the regular season.

 

[Sandra's Bollocks]

Burton's jersey is backwards. Is it a sign he will he backflip?

 

[gregeastwood]

I thought the draw gets released before November.. Is it delayed this year ?

It is now being released by this weekend apparently

 

[gregeastwood]

To be honest but I would’ve expected it to be a main event Friday night game. It would just make more sense for Brisbane and Souths to be the first game instead of them claiming the main Friday night game.

5th season in a row with first game away. Imagine getting a home game for once!
