Preview:
With new coach Ivan Cleary at the helm, the Panthers will be hoping to push for a top four berth after being a fixture in the finals in recent times. It’s a settled Penrith side that’s been named for round one, despite weeks of off-field turmoil at the club. They face an Eels team who had a dismal 2018 season, finishing at the bottom of the table. The only way is up for Brad Arthur’s men, with new five-eighth Dylan Brown expected to shine in his first season. Inexperience litters this Eels lineup, particularly in their spine and The Wolf thinks that could be their undoing in a clash between traditional rivals. Their last seven meetings have been decided by 12 points or under and that’s a trend The Wolf expects to continue on Sunday afternoon, in a game the Panthers should win.
