PENRITH PANTHERS VS GOLD COAST TITANS PREDICTION
Penrith Panthers were handed a boost last week as Sydney Roosters suffered an unexpected loss so they can secure second place with a win here. They take on a Gold Coast Titans outfit that have lost their last four and have looked poor in the process. They have nothing but pride to play for but would rather the season come to an immediate end and that is likely to be evident in this game with the premiers able to run out comfortable victors.
