NRL Tips - Bulldogs v Panthers

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.

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.

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.
