Sydney Roosters v Panthers Live

Watch online Stream of Sydney Roosters v Panthers Live NRL Finals Week 2 Semi Finals NRL Telstra Premiership 2010 on Saturday 18th September 2010 at 09:45 - 12:00 GMT will be held at Sydney Football Stadium. National Rugby League (NRL) is the top league of professional rugby league football clubs in Australasia. The NRL competition (sometimes referred to as the Telstra Premiership for sponsorship purposes) is contested by 16 teams, 15 based in Australia and one based in New Zealand, and is the Southern Hemisphere's elite rugby league championship.

It's one step forward and two steps back for the Panthers who have skipper Petero Civoniceva back from suspension but face the loss of second-rowers Frank Pritchard and Trent Waterhouse for Saturday night's semi-final against the Roosters. The loss of both back-rowers represents a major setback for Penrith following their two-point loss to the Raiders at CUA Stadium last weekend. One of only two survivors from the club's 2003 grand final win over the Roosters, Waterhouse would have provided vital experience for his team, while Pritchard's ability to break the line on the left side of the field will be almost impossible to replace. Penrith will face a Roosters side on a high after their remarkable golden point defeat of Wests Tigers last weekend. The victory provided a major boost for the team's self-belief after they worked their way back from a near hopeless position at the 60-minute mark. The Panthers have won their last two matches against the Roosters by wide margins but both games (one in 2009 and one early in 2010) were played at CUA Stadium. These teams meet for only the second time in a finals match.

The Panthers had plenty of chances to end the regular season as Minor Premiers but failed to take them, and they are now in a loser goes out encounter following their narrow 24-22 defeat at the hands of Canberra Raiders.The Panthers can be backed at 2.45 to win the match, but have they once again blown their chance to be crowned NRL champions. The Panthers have some very good finishers in their back line and they include Sandor Earl (10.00), Michael Gordon (11.00) and Michael Jennings (11.00). The winner of this clash will then face Gold Coast Titans in the Preliminary Final next weekend.
