Penrith Panthers v New Zealand Warriors
Friday, July 6, 7:55pm
Panthers Stadium, Penrith


The Panthers have suffered back-to-back losses and will face a tough task against the Warriors despite their strong recent record against them. They’ll be missing NSW Origin trio – James Maloney, Nathan Cleary and Tyrone Peachey. Meanwhile, the Warriors suffered a double blow in the loss to the Sharks last week, with Tohu Harris and Bunty Afoa set to spend some time on the sidelines due to injury.

Final ThoughtsIt’s hard to ignore the Panthers recent record against the Warriors, but that’s exactly what The Wolf is doing here. It’s impossible to back the Panthers without their influential halves duo of Maloney and Cleary, while they lose one of their best strike weapons in Peachey. Despite the loss of Harris for the Warriors, they have plenty of strike power in their spine through the likes of Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Blake Green, Shaun Johnson and Issac Luke, and should be able to put plenty of points on Anthony Griffin’s men. The Warriors were also very unlucky to lose to the Sharks last week, while the Panthers were embarrassed by the struggling Sea Eagles. Warriors 13+.
