I thought Matts team was a bit unlucky but also demonstrated the idiocy of recruiting Galvin to play halfback. Anyway, Bulldogs losing Crighton early was huge. Though in the interests of accuracy, not close to losing Hughes and Papenhouzen before kickoff. But Bulldogs should definitely play Galvin at 5/8, Sexton at 1/2 for next game as Crighton will surely be out.

They were good but seriously, signing Galvin to play halfback was a monumental mistake. Now it looks blike they are going to be without Crighton and Sexton. They are going to lose next week. It's almost certain.

God, Broncos arrogance is only going to get worse after this. I can't wait until we thrash them next year.

Any of the 6 clubs remaining can win the premiership although massive question marks over Canberra after choking bad last week if they can beat Cronulla wouldn't surprise me if they beat Melbourne although can't see Melbourne, Cronulla or Canberra beating Brisbane, Canterbury or Penrith.

Two pre-season predictions I made was Canterbury v Brisbane grand final that's now gone being on same side of the draw and that Canterbury will be the team to end the Penrith era like they were the club many moons ago to end the St George era where their captain-coach was a legend of St George in Kevin Ryan and Canterbury's team has Penrith greats Gould & Crichton & former Panthers Ciraldo, Kikau, Burton & Salmon.

Matt, look away. It looks like your boys are going to get a thrashing. How bad is Galvin? I always thought he was overrated but watching this, he looks outright poor.

Still a long way to go. Lets see waht happens.

Galvin set up the line break that led to his own try but he's still had a very ordinary game.

What is the record loss in a finals game? Matt should jump on the Dolphins bandwagon.
Bulldogs will come back. Not enough to win but make the scores closer. Because Ivan Cleary will rest Cleary, Yeo, To'o and one of two other with 15 min left.

Remember Bulldogs are missing the best centre in the history of rugby league🤔.

One thing I can say to defend the Dogs is that the first half from Penrith is as good as you will see. I don't think many teams could have gone with them. The only way would be to fight attacking football with attacking football, as the Dolphins can and will do in spades next year.
