Penrith Panthers v South Sydney Rabbitohs
Friday, April 7, 7:50pm (AEST), Pepper Stadium, Penrith
The Panthers will be determined to bounce back after their 28-6 loss to the undefeated Storm. The Rabbitohs went down by 20-6 in Townsville and coach Michael Maguire will be demanding an 80-minute performance at the foot of the mountains. Panthers centre Tyrone Peachey will miss the clash with a rib injury, while Bryce Carwright is nearing a return and could be a late inclusion. In breaking news, Matt Moylan, Waqa Blake and Peta Hiku have been dropped to NSW Cup following a breach of team protocol.

Form
Penrith have started the season 2-3, a record that belies the quality of football they have played. A 28-6 defeat to Melbourne was not reflective of the strong effort they put in while they were also unlucky against the Roosters. South Sydney’s season is fast slipping away despite sharing a 2-3 record with the Panthers. Souths have been comfortably beaten by both the Sydney Roosters and North Queensland, scoring just a single try in each. Souths have conceded at least 18 points in four of their five matches.

Key Matchup
Nathan Cleary v Adam Reynolds. Cleary has made a strong start to the season and looks a future NSW No.7 in the making. Reynolds has made a steady start to his 2017 season after appendicitis ruled him out of Round 1. He does have four try-assists across the first five rounds, but needs to find consistency if he wants to win the Blues No.7 jersey over Mitchell Pearce or James Maloney.
