How are we feeling after watching that demolition, still think the our boys didn't turn up after the loss? We played much better and than the Storm did tonight, we defended better and attacked better. I get the doom & gloom after a loss, and I definitely get the frustration, but Panthers have gone to another level this year so we just need to chill and make the other matches count best we can. I'm hoping last weeks game hasn't affected the team to much and they go into Monday's game with some confidence, or the Tigers will beat them.
Secretly hoping we get the Panthers after an Origin game and they rest a few players - they're looking so hot right now.

The Bulldogs current position on the ladder (6th) is very misleading! They have 6 points coming from 2 wins, ( a golden point win against the Dragons who haven't won a game and a 4 point win against the Raiders who have also been struggling) plus they have had a bye. The Dogs form after 5 rounds should have them in the bottom 6.
As for the Panthers this season, the other 7 clubs that make up the top 8 come finals time are hoping injuries and suspensions hit the Panthers in late August and September. Otherwise, only teams with plenty of x factor, ( Broncos with Walsh or Rabbits with Mitchell) are any chance of hitting form and going on a run at finals time. The gap between the Panthers and the other 16 teams after 5 rounds is the biggest I can recall. If we compared it to a handicap horse race, the Panthers would be top weights with 66 kg's and the rest would have 52 kg's and less.
2 negatives make a positive right.
So that means Melbourne now have cancelled our 50 point curse, right?
Nope they just join us lol.
I refuse to accept that. Our 50 point curse is now over 🥳
Haha fair fair
Points against Penrith.....Brisbane 0, Sharks 6, Roosters 4, us 20 and Melbourne 10. I like silver linings, our attack has been fine, defence not good, if we could sort that, we go places.
Both Panthers and Melbourne had similar stats re: possession, completions, errors and infringements.
But Panthers had 10 linebreaks to 2 and 11 to 5 offloads.
Panthers just out-classed the Storm in attack. Ominous signs. It's basically Panthers first, daylight second at present.
