THE TEAM NEWS
CANTERBURY BULLDOGS
- Canterbury Bulldogs fell woefully short of the standard required as they were blown away by Melbourne Storm last week, failing to register a single point in a heavy defeat in which they conceded eight tries.
- That 44-0 loss highlighted how much work the new-look side still have to do with that their third defeat in succession and that lacklustre performance has triggered a change in the halves with Kyle Flanagan coming in from the cold to replace Brandon Wakeham who drops to the bench.
Starting 13: Dufty, Naden, Burns, Averillo, Addo-Carr, Burton, Flanagan, Thompson, Marshall-King, Vaughan, Waddell, Pangai Jnr., Jackson – Interchanges: Wakeham, Patolo, King, Stimson – Reserves: Biondi-Odo, Hoffman, Schoupp, Okunbor, Seumanufagai, Cook, Topine
Unavailable: Matt Doorey, Raymond Faitala-Mariner, Paul Alamoti, Jack Hetherington
PENRITH PANTHERS
- Penrith Panthers extended their unbelievable record on home soil as they got the better of South Sydney Rabbitohs in a repeat of last year’s Grand Final with the premiers ensuring they claimed the victory once again to maintain their 100% start to the campaign.
- The Panthers showed their quality on both sides of the ball with some classy tries and some brilliant scrambling defence to claim their seventh win in succession stretching back to last season and it is little surprise that they have named the same side for this contest.
Starting 13: Edwards, Staines, Tago, S. Crichton, May, Luai, Cleary, Eisenhuth, Koroisau, Fisher-Harris, Kikau, Martin, Yeo – Interchanges: Kenny, Sorensen, Leniu, Salmon – Reserves: Jennings, C. Smith, Hopgood, L. Smith, Luke, C. Crichton, O’Sullivan
Unavailable: Moses Leota, Brian To’o
THE PREDICTION
Canterbury Bulldogs have it all to do here if they are to avoid another humiliating loss as they take on premiers Penrith Panthers. The Dogs were on the end of a 44-0 hammering by Melbourne Storm last week and their lacklustre attacking play could well prove to be a big hindrance once again here. They have managed to score just 28 points in their four games so far this season and that does not bode well against the NRL’s meanest defence of last season. The Panthers built their Premiership win on the back of their stubbornness off the ball and having won all four of their games so far this season, they should be far too good for last year’s wooden spoonists with a comfortable win of at least 18 points on the cards for Penrith.
