Round 26 should have been opening with a belter but Penrith’s decision to sit out their 16 best players has made this match a one-goer with the Bulldogs in complete control.

Best Bet
It is hard to not side with Canterbury in this one even laying a huge number.
Penrith are not fielding a first grade side. They are not even fielding a full NSW Cup team. This is an embarrassment what they have been allowed to do. The combined side has fewer first grade games experience than Cameron Smith.
Rolling out the likes of John Fonua, David Fale, Zac Lipowicz and Billy Phillips should be a green light for the Bulldogs to go nuts.
Canterbury have been highly unreliable as a big favourite but this is the perfect opportunity for them to lay a marker down and show their attack can put up a score.
Lay the points and expect Canterbury to win this comfortably.
Same Game Multi
Matt Burton is an excellent ball runner and he has scored twice in five games against his old club.
Josh Curran is a very good tryscorer when he plays on an edge with seven tries in 21 games.
Value Bet
Canterbury will be very keen to see their attack click this week, taking advantage of playing a NSW Cup team to fix up their stuttering performances with ball in hand. This will start with halfback Lachlan Galvin, who is at his best running the ball. He has scored twice a in Canterbury colours and looks a good bet to score this week.
