Eels beat them 28-20 in Canberra in round 12 in their only encounter this year.

Their home record against Canberra is 21-10. They've never met in a final before.

We want the Eels to go all the way to the GF now in the chance we make it that far

 

[bigbopper]

Right now I don't care. If we are good enough to get through Penrith then we'll beat either of them. Mind you a 7th vs 8th grand final would be history making.

Cheers

…and probably never to be repeated.

Parra wins comfortably imo

 

[Kempy]

A game that has no consequences for us that we can just sit back and enjoy. Although I would love to see Parra slip out the back door again.

I agree. It will be end of Arthur if they go out backwards again. I suffered through the hell of 1986 and 89. My greatest fear is of going out backwards. When we went on the field against Canberra in 2012 we had won 2 semis in 40 years. Do you realise we have won now won 12 semis in the last 11 years.

Now that I am strangely calm for the weekend I can just enjoy the match. If they bash each other up that only benefits the Cowboys - as much as I'd enjoy a 7th vs 8th grand final I think I'd like to see Canberra's run end and wait a week to watch the Eels bow out.

How many semis have we los tin that time?

In all honesty I couldn't care less about this side of the draw. If we get to the GF healthy and no more suspensions, we win.

The Penrith vs Souths/Sharks prelim is the real GF.

I calculate 10
2012 w1 L 2
2013 w1 L 1
2014 w3 L 0
2015 w0 L 1
2018 w1 L 2
2019 w 1 L 2
2020 w 2 L1
2021 w 2 L 1
2022 w 1 L ?
So we are ahead by 2. Am I correct? 12 w 10 L. I love winning semis.

That's pretty good, greater than 50% record, there's a few there we should have won too.

I dunno. Parra are a dud side. I think Raiders could play the upsetter again this week.
