    Panthers will now be able to call in the big guns for the game it seems- https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl...2bf25a0e872a4a

    Can only see a comfortable Penrith victory.

    I want the best Penrith side possible. The two dominant teams in their respective leagues going toe to toe. Obviously they are huge favourites, as they should be, but upsets do happen.
    Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.

    Yes a true test of where we are, and no excuses if we win.

    I can only see Saints winning by 40-50 points.

    Will be a cakewalk

    They'll all play but they'll still underestimate us I reckon

    Presume we will be playing under Aussie rules. If so they've introduced new interpretations, but no new rules this season.

    Sorry if some has said this already but it would be great if C4 and Sky bring up that a lot of the players have played against each other at academy level on the Saints tours.

    https://www.saintsrlfc.com/2019/11/0...over-panthers/

    It would have great nostalgia

    Edit:

    A great picture of Nathan Cleary with Mike Rush in this one.

    I could agree with you but then we would both be wrong.

    Cheers Noel, if you scroll down to the bottom of the first link, the last pic (guy in Saints training top and cap) is my brother who lives in Penrith. He’s a Panthers season ticket holder but was a home and away Saints fan when in Blighty. He always attends the games when the academy lads play and I’ll send him the link. Brightened up my day, thanks.

    Morgan Knowles wants the rest of England and Superleague to get behind St Helens and hope we win this WCC.

    NOT A CHANCE MORGAN: Every Superleague club will want Saints to Fail. Its in our DNA. No way if the shoe was on the other foot would i want Wigan/Leeds to win this WCC.

    Its just St Helens I'm afraid Morgan.

    Not at all. I was right behind Wigan when they played the Broncos on their own midden for the WCC, and still think their win is one of the best achievements ever by a British team, club or international.

    Nope. I remember me and my dad wanting Wigan to win in 94

    Magnificent achievement.

    I also remember Maurice Lindsay being very complimentary towards Saints in 2001 after we won

    Nope, I'd want any SL team to beat any NRL team.

    I think if SL teams won often then you wouldn't want Wigan winning it but now I always want the SL team to win as the competition needs it badly.

    Fans of Wigan/Wire etc may enjoy it if Penrith beat us by 30 points but when the dust settles what on earth does it say about their sides who have watched us win it 4 in a row.

    Everyone looks better if Saints do well.

    The 8-4 versus Manly also evokes good RL memories, not just for Wigan but the game.
