The Panthers have been the surprise packet of the NRL this season with their top 4 finish stunning most experts. They secured a second chance in the finals and ended the Warriors top 8 ambitions with a dominant win over the Kiwis in the last regular game of the season. Penrith’s ball control was immense in slippery conditions with the mountain men completing 32 of 40 sets in a 16 point win.
NRL premiership winner Jamie Soward is guiding his side nicely around the park and young fullback Matt Moylan is well on the way to being one of the game’s megastars. But Penrith’s team efforts are what saw them steal a top 4 spot, can they overcome the odds again and knock off the Minor Premiers?
Beating the Roosters won’t be easy, nobody’s managed that feat since July. A run of 5 straight wins saw the Chooks come from the clouds to steal the Minor Premiership from Manly and South Sydney. The Roosters beat the Bunnies in their in round 26 showdown to secure back to back first place finishes. Now they’re aiming for successive premierships, and if they succeed coach Trent Robinson will create history, he’ll be the first coach to win consecutive premierships in his first 2 years.
The Roosters powered past Penrith 32-12 in round 19 racing to a 10 point lead by the 17th minute. And if they start fast in the final punters who back them in Sportingbet’s special market will make money in no time. Remember your team doesn’t have to win by 10, they don’t even have to win, as long as they lead by 10 at any time you’ll be a winner no matter what.
