Penrith has not lost two games in a row all season.
Yet that’s exactly what rugby league Immortal Andrew Johns is tipping to happen just a fortnight out from NRL finals.
The Panthers were rolled by Melbourne in a 24-22 thriller in Sydney’s west last week.

Now the three-time reigning premiers hit the highway and head down to Canberra to take on the green machine.
The Raiders were pummelled by the Cowboys last week and have conceded more than 40 points in two consecutive games.

Yet some injuries to key Penrith positions – including the best halfback in the game – has Johns sniffing at upset in the nation’s capital.
“I’m going (to tip) Raiders at home,” Johns told Wide World of Sports.
“(The Panthers have) Mitch Kenny out, obviously with Nathan (Cleary) out.
“I think they can get them.”
Johns conceded the Raiders were “poor” against North Queensland last week but believes the home-ground advantage gives them a serious edge.
Brad Fittler could not agree with him.
