Bulldogs outgun understrength Panthers
CALLUM WALKER Accor Stadium, Thursday
CANTERBURY BULLDOGS 28
PENRITH PANTHERS 4
THE result may have been a foregone conclusion before kick-off due to Ivan Cleary’s controversial decision to rest 16 Penrith players, but the Panthers’ young stars did their future hopes of making it big no harm at all with a determined effort against a ruthless Canterbury.
The victory meant that the Bulldogs were able to consolidate third spot on the NRL ladder whilst Penrith will have a tougher finals run-in due to defeat.
