2017 R21 Thu - Panthers 16-8 Bulldogs @ Pepper

[Das Gupta]

Usually a team that gets flogged the week before bounces back. Yet, I think the dogs don't care and can't wait for the season to end.
Panthers.

We play well against the Dogs. See the last two games against them especially. No excuses for not winning this. Also look at 'The Kennel', the Dogs fans practically hate their coach.

The Raiders and Titans are 6 points out of the 8, they can realistically book end of season tickets now, nothing to do with the Panthers. Especially with the 8th placed team playing Newcastle next game.

Doesn't mean the Panthers won't feel additional pressure if one of those teams closes the gap on them.

7 wins from their last 9 games, but who's counting?

Started consistent – alternating results over the first 5 rounds. Then found a new level of consistency stringing groups of losses with groups of wins, with one flogging in every loss sequence. Due for a loss sequence and a belting.

Nah. Heaps of loses with Moylan at 1 and wins with Moylan at 6. We will be all good from here on out.

Panthers, also this game feels like I watched it recently.

 

[GongPanther]

Semifinal prospects?

you're not even in the 8

Haven't you heart of the word "prospects"?..."The possibility or likelihood of some future event occurring"

We are semi-final prospects.Until we lose too many games were we can't make the finals.

You referring to the Rd 13 38-0 win by us?

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Cheering for Penrith to lose so it helps Parra make the top 8 even though i know Parra will get knocked out so easily in the finals if they make it LOL

 

[OzDragon]

I'll tip dogs.


Now if you excuse me, I need to have a shower.

 

[thommo4pm]

Can't see the Panthers losing this one.

 

[Vic Mackey]

No team plays better after bad publicity then the dogs. Panthers might have beat the Titans but needed 2 intercepts to do it, bad news for them here is no one in the dogs team knows how to throw a cut out pass.

Canterbury by 8

 

[Todd Hoffman]

This game could go either way depending on how Penrith play.
Dogs will come out fired up after last week. If Penrith can get over their early first half yips and go with the dogs for the first 20-25 minutes then they will win well as the dogs will give up.
However, if Penrith get into a grind with the dogs and play as poor as they did last week against the tits then the dogs will get a sniff and win by a couple. Like they grinded away 10 - 7 against the Brons earlier in the year.

 

[Incorrect]

I don't understand the point of having Lichaa on the bench and playing him for 10 minutes, if that, at the death when the game is as good as over....

We've had bad publicity for the entire season and it hasn't helped much IMO

There is no point at all. He offered nothing when on the field for 80mins, he is certainly not going to offer anything by coming off the bench.

This is purely Des standing by his bad decision to sign him and his even worse decision not to drop him. He did the same with T-Rex.

I feel that the dogs have thrown in the towel for the year, we have no chance of making the 8 (although technically possible) and I can't see us spoiling any teams run to the finals.

You'll beat my mob next Thursday night, just watch....

We are definitely capable of it...I just can't see it happening.

Our run home is has some very winnable games....Panthers, Parra, Souths, Manly, Gold Coast, and Saints with 4 of these games at ANZ. If we pulled out finger out we could make a run for the 8, I won't hold my breath just yet.

Josh Reynolds to do something stupid, Panthers win even after losing Moylan when he takes an interception & his legs falls straight off as he tries to accelerate.

We just can't turn up expecting to win and we need to cut out this crap of rushing our attack with miracle one tackle plays. Build sets through pressure.
If we score more than 14 points we should win.That seems to be the dogs average atm. The dogs have the worst attacking record this year of all teams.
