Remember that kids movie from a few years ago when those two domesticated creatures squared off for world domination? Unfortunately I do.
Anyway, something similar happened at Penrith last year, when the Panthers and Bulldogs went toe to toe for 80 minutes, in what was arguably the match of the year.
The two combatants face off again, at the same venue, in another heavyweight battle... 2nd v 3rd.
PANTHERS - Were too classy for the Cowboys, taking their chances when they were presented and managing to do enough to keep the Cowboys from regaining the lead once it was hauled in and over taken. Up against one of the high flyers, it needs to be more intesne, and the return of the Origin stars should ensure that.
BULLDOGS - Coming off a loss against the Tigers. But to be fair, their first choice forward pack was virtually missing on Origin duty. However, they are invariably due for a win. Sound obvious, but the Bulldogs never seem to get into a rut - a loss is usually followed by a win, and usually a convincing one. The Panthers are in the firing line.
Both teams have players backing up from Origin, but the Panthers are harder hit. Having said that, being at home will benefit us, and we will lift. And the Bulldogs will turn it on without fail.
I predict that it could be a carbon copy of last year - the result anyway.
Panthers in golden point.
