FINALS WEEK 2
15 September 2017
Steeming to you straight from the NRL Headquarters at
http://www.nrl.com/
The Penrith Panthers have made their way to Brisbane, to take on the Broncos in a Friday night blockbuster at Suncorp Stadium.
The Bronco's lost by 2 points to the Roosters in a thriller last week - however they were without their Captain and Fullback Darius Boyd. Well news out today is thatBoyd has ruled himself out again - hamstring injury.
Boyd out!
Nikorima will be back at Fullback and crowd favourite Benji M will start again in the number 7 jersey.
The Panthers on the other hand are at full strength and are raring to go after their 22:10 win over Manly last week - and their beards and mustaches are being groomed to intimidate.
We at Community News however fear that the Panthers will need more than facial hair to defeat a Bennett coached Bronco's team at Suncorp, Boyd or no Boyd.
However the Bronco's are currently $1.45 favourites - and they are far from a sure thing. Were the odds on the Panthers to blow out a little further from $2.85 (say to $3.00) they might just be worth the flutter.
The Panthers have been strong finishers this season - if they can stay within striking distance with 15 minutes to go - expect fireworks!
Steemians should reply here with their score predictions - plenty of upvotes for the best guess!
