Easily the best quality game this season so far (NRL or Origin). No other team wins tonight against either club.
It really wasn’t. Vossy and Cronk giving each other hand shandies over it will cloud some fans opinions but it was a good, tough game with excellent defence and limited attack.

I’m not a Tigers fan but I think you’re right. I still think it’s strange they signed him without a plan about how they’re going to use him. There’s a very small amount of players you buy no matter what and find a spot for them regardless, but Galvins not one of them, at least not yet.
He's the rugby league equivalent of the kind of person who has Mummy and daddy buy them a house then declare themselves a self made man.

Don't understand why you think we are cut?

It was a great game of RL...

Best Penrith have played all year easily and they only scored and won from a charge down, yes they found a way to win (well done) but I'm more confident after that game about the season then before!

Also losing a player 1st tackle didn't help.
Good stuff Penrith
Cut? Maybe a little, but probably more delusional... going by your 10 subsequent posts

Great defence Penrith. Certainly contenders. Dogs beat themselves tonight though. Shot themselves in the foot quite a few times.

can’t help but think the Galvin shuffle is to blame. We win with another forward on the bench and keeping the same spine.

Not sure what the answer is going forward,

Here endeth the lesson.

Canterbury Bulldogs fans collectively pissed their pants this week. They knew what was coming. I expect a bit more confidence later this year at Homebush.

Credit to them though. They got some assistance in the first half from the ref and they rode that hard. By the second half it was clear the game was over early on.

Penrith, Penrith, Penrith! What a team. The greatest team anyone on the planet has seen play Rugby League.

Where is everyone in general that wrote Penrith off 6-8 weeks ago? I didn’t too much quality in that side

Yes mate. Penrith are coming. Check the Bulldogs underwear that will tell you everything. The Dogs fans have been way too quiet this week.

Rabbits are coming too. They are my smokey to sneak the 8.

Their Galvin buy has all the hallmarks of biting them on the ass. I seriously doubt it was a Ciraldo decision to buy him.
The Dogs lose plenty when Reed is off the field with Sexton at hooker. Their middle looks so much more vulnerable than before.
Such a strange move to buy him at this time of year.

Screams of a 'Gus' new toy buy......Now doesn't know what to do with him.
