Preview:
It is surely panic stations at the foot of the mountains now after their woeful start to the season. New coach Ivan Cleary has done little to ease the Panthers’ chronic inconsistency, which was on full display in a 24-20 collapse against Cronulla last weekend. The Sharks looked down an out when Waqa Blake scored after an hour, but rattled off three converted tries to come back from a 14-point deficit. Caleb Aekins comes in at fullback for Penrith, with Dallin Watene-Zelezniak moving to the centres to cover the injury of Dean Whare. It’s a settled side for Souths, who name the same 17 as that which beat the Dogs 14-6 on Good Friday. The past six matches between the two teams have been split 3-3, with neither team able to be dominant at home or away. With two wins from six games, it is clear Penrith is under pressure and general manager Phil Gould parting ways with the club on Tuesday does little to help its cause. It’s hard to know what impact that will have on the playing group, but The Wolf knows that Souths are the much stronger team and a shoddy Penrith defence won’t put up much of a fight against their attack when it’s firing on all cylinders.
