Gold Coast Titans vs Penrith Panthers prediction
Gold Coast Titans may have the chance to potentially pull off what would be a monstrous upset when considering that they’ll likely be playing a weakened Penrith Panthers. But even without a selection of big players, the depth of this Penrith team makes them so utterly formidable, leading to 12 wins from 13 in the NRL as it stands this year.
To think the Panthers have now racked up nine more wins than their opponents over the course of this campaign. Gold Coast Titans have been completely abject and this may well wind up being a very long 80 minutes for them. Expect victory to go the way of Penrith Panthers and by at least 13 points.
