MATCH THREAD | Preliminary Final | Bulldogs vs Panthers

[GoTheDoggies]

If Penrith have a nervous start like they did against the Roosters, knock ons and poorly executed set plays. We will dominate and be up 20-0 by half time.

In the 2nd half we will butcher the lead but go on to win by 6.

In their defence the Roosters have made a habit this year of putting a tonne of points up really quickly in some games… They hung on better than the Cowboys and we all seemed to really rate the Cowboys.

You're right panthers were poor it just got overshadowed by the finish to that game

Cowboys ran out of steam in the end. Scoring 30 points like that is no easy feat, while the refs did influence that (SBW Knock on called as a penalty). I doubt the Cowboys would've won in extra time. JT should've taken the field goal at the 71st minute mark when they had the ball.

Dogs will be tired. It is critical that dogs start well. Longer the game is close the worse it is for the dogs

Wheres Lafai?

 

[Raikkonen]

Wheres Lafai?

Not sure but it will be interesting to see how Ennis goes playing prop

 

[w00t]

Segeyaro is their most dangerous player, Soward can easily be rattled and Idris is one of the biggest defensive liabilities. Had we not been unfairly disallowed so many tries against Penrith last time, Idris would've been responsible for singlehandlely giving us victory. Regardless of whether he's facing Morris or Lafai, they're both going to run circles around him and Soward is no better at defence unless you count kicking people in the face while they score (Soward kicking Inglis).

 

[blueyedsamurai]

I'm worried about soward targeting mitch brown. Brown seems to always be in the wrong place

 

[Slick]

Wait, did they swap around Titdris to change who he is defending against? Seems he'll be up against Morris.

Lafai would have run straight past Idris

 

[AlzzBulldog]

the bulldogs should use the 2012 gf loss as motivation

 

[finchie]

I hope nerves get the better of segyaro again. He had a shocker vs rorters in semi 1 and he tried to overplay his hand alot. Id go as far as saying he had his worst game in a riff jersey. It all starts with segyaro. Plz no one fall for his dummy esp close to the line he will take it all day!!!!

 

[finchie]

Especially with both tries last week (hodges amd stewart) dummy half runs with a massive dummy. This will not go unnoticed by cleary and segyaro

 

[JORDZILLA]

we should be the underdogs

Good point this does show also how good our defence has been, last week two from dummy half, one bad error from Ennis. The week before only one from a kick..Defence wins big games we must shut down Segeyaro, also reckon jamming in on there outside men is a must they love the second man sweep play

 

[rainman]

Will the Penrith fans travel or will it be a sea of blue and white

Should be 50/50 the way the media has been pumping them, they are acting like they already won it.

This will be another ambush like we did to the Storm.
