The pressure cooker, Penrith Panthers taking on the Melbourne Storm who can deal with pressure, it’s going to be hard for the Panthers to put up the same kind of performance they did against the Eels, coming off a disappointing loss while staging an impressive performance last week, the physicality needed two weeks in a row may prove to be too big of an ask to compete with the Storm, its a real test for the Penrith Panthers character and they will have to repeat last weeks efforts to possibly get this win over a confident Storm.
