:lol::lol: Being a sore loser are we?:cry::lol:

Not in the slightest.

Panthers have been light years ahead of your mob for consistency this year.

And don't get me started on their style of play to your mob.

We lost fair and square. I don't think you lot deserve to go any further. I think Penrith do.

That OK with you dick nose?

Both your donkey teams lost to the Eels,disgrace one of you plodders will be in the GF

It could have easily been the eels...unfortunately you came up against a bottom dwelling team, with a shitty coach and nothing to play for in round 26 and couldnt get the job done.

Dogs forward pack towers over the Penrith one

A challenge for the first half hour to keep these big boofheads quiet, certainly. But they can't keep going for 80 minutes. They are just too fat and unfit. It's been shown time and again in recent weeks.

It will be an act of mercy of the Panthers to snuff the Dogs out, because the embarrassment of a cricket score in the GF would be hard to take.

Yeah our pack is. much smaller and less damaging then the Bulldogs pack. With the likes of Elijah Taylor, Bryce Cartwright, Tim Grant and Tyrone Peachey missing, we still have a tough pack that busts their ass to get the job done. No real offload and line break threats, but Idris and Mansour help compensate for that.

They're basically part of our pack, just playing out wide. Mansour does a pretty good front rower impression. Runs hard, Carrie blokes, lacks pace, creates second phase play and busts tackles, sucks under the high ball and is at his best not trying to use his head and just carting it up 15+ times a game.

Gee a grand final appearance would be nice. We do like having the betting odds against us, and we are guaranteed to have them there for the next two games if we make it.

So we have that going for us. Dogs, like so many others, still failing to take us seriously.

Yeh fair call

You guys have no cranky Franky and Graham. That will make a huge difference. Who would you say is your best forward outside of seggy?

The voting slant towards the panthers is indicative of the butthurt on this forum. Dogs should go out favourites...more runs on the board and proven ability to get the job done

The Dogs are favourites mate. They were last time these sides met too. People here are voting on what they perceive as the merits of the teams, rather than where the money lies. Maybe also which side they like better.

Frank looks really fat and unfit at the moment. Maybe he is trying to become Kasiano II. He looks like he's good for about 10 minutes a half. James Graham must be respected and Mick Ennis has given us a hard time once or twice, but he was in Bronco colours back then. Great big forward packs are good as long as their fitness holds up, but combined with ordinary halves and pedestrian backlines, they get found out against good opposition. You can be quite certain Ivan Cleary is right now working on a game plan designed to expose the porky Bulldog forwards.

Our forwards are a unit that supports one another, just like the team. There are no big names, all of them are mean and lean and can go for 80 minutes. You should be very afraid.

Elijah Taylor, Tyrone Peachey and then Bryce Cartwright. :( This is my dream starting second row. Sadly all are gone for the season.

Of the players we will have available this weekend... Lewis Brown has been among our best most weeks since returning from injury. The only bloke who regularly looks dangerous with the ball.

Latimore is the pick of our front rowers. Nothing fancy, but does his job consistently and rarely lets the team down. Kite has been a disappointment (but better lately), McKendry has also been nowhere near his best (but improving lately also) and Plum is just a bloke who throws his body into the defence and infront of anything that moves.

Most of the pack have improved lately. But I think they're all capable of performing better then we have seen at any point in 2014 aswell.

Franky is rapidly improving. Des likes his forwards with a bit of phat on them, look at gorgeous George rose. They aren't the guys that are going to score 90m tries but can feed the guys that can

Just wish Tony Williams would grow a pair and get stuck in :(

You're right, if your small guys run at Eastwood, Williams and Franky all night we'll have issues
