The New Zealand Warriors struggled once again in interim head coach Stacey Jones' first game in charge, and things don't get any easier today when they face defending premiers and top-of-the-table Penrith Panthers.
The Warriors were soundly defeated by the Cronulla Sharks in their sixth consecutive defeat, and to make matters worse, they have now lost Ben Murdoch-Masila and Euaitken to injury, though Addin Fonua-Blake could be a late inclusion from the reserves list, and Ronald Volkman will make his NRL debut at five-eighth.
Squad
Walsh, Watene-Zelezniak, Arthars, Pompey, Montoya, Volkman, Johnson, Afoa, Egan, Tevaga, Murchie, Harris, Curran – Interchanges: Harris-Tavita, Pene, Lui, Sironen – Reserves: Lussick, Katoa, Berry, Asi, Fonua-Blake
Penrith Panthers Team News
Penrith Panthers extended their winning streak to five games with a huge win over Newcastle Knights last week, and the defending premiers are unlikely to relinquish first spot on the table as they face New Zealand Warriors.
After scoring 42 points against the Knights last week, the Panthers are looking for another huge win against their struggling opponents, and they are bolstered by the return of crucial lock Isaah Yeo, who was held out against the Knights due to a head knock in Origin.
Squad
Edwards, May, Tago, S. Crichton, To’o, Luai, Cleary, Leota, Koroisau, Fisher-Harris, Kikau, Martin, Yeo – Interchanges: Kenny, Sorensen, Leniu, Salmon – Reserves: Jennings, Eisenhuth, C. Smith, Luke, Jenkins
Expert Betting Tips
This appears to be a mismatch of enormous proportions, which might be obvious come the full-time hooter. The New Zealand Warriors have lost their previous six games, while the Penrith Panthers have won five straight. The Panthers have only lost one game all season, and failure to win here would be the greatest upset of the season. The Warriors have given up at least 24 points in each of their past six games, and that number is set to be easily eclipsed today with the Panthers covering the -26 handicap.
