TRIAL :: 2 Mar :: Bulldogs 36 Panthers 18 @ ANZ

[Bulldogs_4_Life]

0-0 after 12mins

Reports are the Bulldogs are all over the place, which doesn't surprise me with teh side that was named (Holdsworth leading the pack around or at least trying to and failing as usual, as well as the pathetic centre combination).

Folkes always jabs on about changing of style and all the rest of it. He did that at the beginning of 07 and nothing. He's done it at the beginning of 08 and again, it seems to mean nothing.

Still, it's only a trial. Hopefully something can be sorted after this for a strong Round 1.

Penrith - 12
Bulldogs - 0

Scored off what looked to be a forward pass then a knock-on.

Groom should go to half back now. Give him as much time as possible.

Micheal Sullivan bags a double and it's 12-all here at anz, 2 til halftime. Dogs looking much better after a lacklustre start.

 

[Caged Panther]

nice to know penrith have fixed those lapses in concentration they suffered all last season

 

[wittyfan]

Go Sully!!!

 

[Big Mick]

Michael Sullivan my tip in my season preview to have a big year for the Dogs.

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

go sullivan!

Siren sounds and we'll go to the break at 12-all. Penrith the better side so far but the dogs really looking strong toward the end of the half there. Decent looking crowd here i'd say around 8 or 9k. Being free entry i doubt we'll see an official figure. Tries for pen to tony p and luke rooney, joe williams 2from2. Dogs points thru sully 2 tries and hazem's 2from2.

 

[Big Mick]

Well looks like Penrith have that 5 min before halftime syndrome again.

 

[Timmah]

Both sides look dangerous when they're throwing it wide, however mr wesser would do well to practice throwing it backward- in a premiership game penrith wouldn't have had their second try tbh

 

[innsaneink]

How many there Timbo?

 

[mxlegend99]

Great, Panthers last week waited until the last minute to start playing. And this week we're lapsing before halftime, p robably fulltime also.

When we've looked good, what were the halves/centres on the field? Please tell me Jennings isn't stuck on the wing?

 

[Bulldogs_4_Life]

Cheers Timmah. Where you getting updates from?

i'm in bay 131 lol, technology is amazing ain't it? Ink- about 8 or 9 imo- as mentioned i don't think we'll get an official figure due to it being non-ticketed. Second half underway, both teams looking nervous, dogs looking more threatening though. Great break from jennings a moment ago, ankle tapped by maitua. Dogs on the attack 5 min into 2nd half, then penalised for obstruction. Score remains 12 all
