[Poida]

panthers have been inconsistent but should beat an out of sorts cronulla
penrith to win by 8
22-14

[W.I.L.T]

I just can't back a Penrith side that includes Hookey. He is too terrible.

EDIT: I thought Lewis was due back this week as well?

[Just Another Member]

Darren Albert at Fullback could equal some excitement.

Sharks win at home but not confident.

[Steelers]

I just can't back a Penrith side that includes Hookey. He is too terrible.

He was great while he was at the Dragons
