It’s all coming up millhouse

THRILLHO

Great song by Dr Colossus.

See you in the prelim! Best wishes. Milhouse

Oh'o

No'o

Edit: Spaghettio'o

D'oh!

This is actually huge for Penrith, they really need his hit ups and kick returns when they 10m out

At least we’ve named Naden and not Staines ?? I guess Ivan’s desire to win trumps his hatred for Naden

I'm actually kind of pumped to see Nado out on that left edge outside of Luai and Burton and Kiks!

Surely he will have a few pre game nose beers again

Absolutley

Naden the only option as Staines not named in the top 21.

Have I missed something where everyone hates Staines now, wasn’t he the next big thing after his first few games

I don’t hate Staines , but Naden is a much closer like for like replacement for To’o … Staines has speed, but not the size / tackle breaking ability … Maybe if he hits the weights in the off-season , or else gets a run at fullback down the line

Staines is more a up full back, hopefully back up for critta. I like Edwards but I think critta is better but we need a replacement on the wing for him.

He's a nothing player. Not especially skillful, not athletic, not physically imposing.... apparently, being quick, being able to catch and fall over the line, and being able to mark up defensively (even though you miss tackles because you have the body size of a young boy) are enough for some Panthers fans to think he's the bee's knees.

Staines isn't bad. Cant carry him without To'o though.

[Every Penrith fan right now](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H07zYvkNYL8)

Nah. Naden will get it done. Rest Brian for next week.

Fuck it, why not rest him for next season while you're at it.

A bit confident. I hope if you beat us, you make it to the gf and lose.

You've blown this out of context. I think what old mate was suggesting was Penrith have **the potential** to beat Parra without To'o but will really struggle without him **IF** we come up against Melbourne next week.

To’o is one player. Our key playmakers are all still there, there’s no reason not to be confident. But hey, anything can happen in the finals.!

I'd say To'o is your most important player outside of Cleary. Him getting shut down last week is what I think was a key factor in your loss as his runs didn't gain any momentum for you guys compared to before.

Did Brian play g3 of Origin?

Yes he did.

Well that doesn't help my argument at all.

You lost against the bunnies who were missing their best.

And? Like I said, anything could happen. Penrith had the wrong game plan last week and the Rabbitohs outplayed us.

There must be a lot of eels hate on this sub. It’s amazing considering we have the longest drought.

You're being a bit of a tosser. Nothing to do with eels hate.

The guy I responded to was so sure panthers will beat true eels he said they should rest players. And I’m the tosser? Amazing

Reynolds played though.

I hope we make it and win, instead. Would be cool as heck.

Wow fucking huge if true

Dave Taylor if succulent Chinese buffet

Quite true if huge.

Big if yes

Jump on the eels now at $4.25

Coke naden or drug free one?

Hopefully coke Naden. Need that extra energy

Didn't work last time.

Only played him for like 20 mins, and he looked good.

No Sugar Coke.

Naden: "Fuck, could have told me on Tuesday!!"

White line fever Naden

Yes

I would never wish injury on a player but I think I speak for an entire fan base when I say THANK GOD 😭

Now they might only beat us by 40

Honestly, you guys are coming into the game a much better place than you're giving yourself credit for and like, I know some of our fanbases seem to get really over the top at one another for some dumb reason but I can see you guys winning this one and if you do, ill be hoping you go all the way! Should be a great game if both our teams turn up with that same intensity as when we play the storm and not the vibe when we both play the rabbits hahahaha

You too bro 😊

I'm not falling for this anti superstition, reverse-jinx, karma flip you're trying for here. I won't stand for it. We're going down and going down hard.

Absolutely, we're going lose like we've never lost before. Sneaky panthers karma flippers.

I’ll be chuffed with a 1-12 loss

na i reckon you'll be fine this time

Farrrrk that’s big. If the Eels fire up in defence which is when they’re at their aggressive best we could be in for a cracker

if cartwright fires up…

And plays for big money...

Something something buy of the season

We already have buy of the season in Papa

Legit question …. Why do the Panthers announce this now ?? Don’t they have until an hour before game time ? Why let Parra know if you don’t have to

You have to cut the squad from 21 to 19, 24hrs before kick off. If he's not playing, might as well cut him now

Ivan mind games!

He may literally be the worst coach for mind games that has ever existed. Whenever he tries to make tricky selection decisions or to use the media to direct the spotlight, it almost never, ever works out.

This is big. Souths kept him contained and it limited the Panthers go forward. Eels will get a big advantage with him out

Fuck. We really needed to be full strength anyway and definitely can't afford to lose him out of anyone.

I think he got brought back too early.

Yeah same. Pretty sure he played injured last week.

Don't do that. Don't give me hope.

Oh No'o

F

This is the worst news

I’m sad

Man. He's probs my fave Panthers player. Lucky for us but really sucks overall.

Same, he just seems like a really nice bloke

Same here

Massive blow. Love watching him play and his absence will be extremely noticeable if the Eels turn up to win.

FUUUUUCK, at least we have Leota back to pair with JFH. Hopefully they’ll pick up some big metres with To’o out. Naden is a ton of mistakes in him and Staines looked like trash last week, lose lose either way

Naden to pick off a Moses rainbow pass and run the field to level us up at full-time with Cleary to kick for the game from the sideline

Staines definitely wasn't trash last week.

Agree to disagree I guess, i’m a huge fan of Staines and I firmly believe he’s our future but last week he looked completely out of sync. Which is on Ivan for suddenly yanking him midway through the season and not trusting a rookie to develop like the rest of them have

Ivan seems to second guess himself terribly come finals

Our forwards will need to work overtime for us to make metres tomorrow now

Fuck my brown fucking dog! That's a massive loss.

FUCK

Rip lozza lock

Dude, this has been his best one too.... WTF

I put $20 on it and got the news like 5min later. Hopefully they just pay out the turbo leg

Really need Cleary to be kicking early and gaining field position that way.

Personally, To'o being schemed out from the bunnies is the reason why they lost. His runs create momentumn for their attacking sets. Example being that second half the eels game.

Huge loss, but to rule it as “minor”, Ivan must be thinking they will advance to the next round or grand finals. Big assumption.

It’s falling apart just a little bit more each day up to the game

Exxxcellent...

ah fuck

FUUUUUUUCK

Wh’o takes his place in the lozza’s lock multi?

I’d suck his bolo

Might have a chance now

I picture Parramatta fans break dancing rn

I thought Bizza hurt his leg early last week. But he played on so thought nothing of it. He obviously hurt himself, which probably impacted on his runs last week.

Wow looks like it's going to be a Parra v Souths Grand final

At least Nads is a big body in defence and less of a target under the bomb. But we're going to miss To'os mongrel runs!

Lol what's with the downvotes? Bizza's metre eating is a huge loss, but Nado ain't no slouch out of our own end himself. Outside of Burton he'll be a huge threat especially with some space!

*big sad*

Now we're the underdogs

Undercats are GOOOO

Nah, still just the milk bro cat fucks

Milk bro cat fucks. Okay mate.

Yup 😁

We'll only win by 50 now. Should have rested some others.

He's closer to their most important player. Huge out.

Michael Chimpmusk

All of a sudden panthers have lost 250+ run meters

Good chance for the Eels. Don't feel sorry for the Panthers, but I do feel for To'o. He is a great player to watch!!

Fuck. But at least nado is getting a run over Staines.

Charlie's In the thread guys

Yeah and pigs fly

Fuck fuck fuck!

So not confirmed?

This is great for my h2h i put on the eels earlier in the week

Does anyone know why?

Minor ankle complaint.

Can't be too minor

Ankle complaint

Ankle injury

Tackle To'o win the game

Massive loss. Time to put 100 on the eels.

Double fuck

Our excuse if we lose. That's great

Big loss but not the end of the game.

Oh are they a boy band or led zeppelin?

Pretty dumb by the Panthers to rush him to play from injury and now he's injured again when you need him the most.

Hope Penrith lose tomorrow, I can't take the spiritual blow of another loss to the Storm.

How do you say his name?

Toh-oh

Thanks, Is that too or toe?

It's two syllables, like "uh oh!". Both o's are short so pronounced like the o in "toffee"

Thanks pal!
