The Tigers showed earlier on Sunday that the Bulldogs aren't the worst team in the competition, but they're not far off.

“I do think the Bulldogs have come a long way compared to the last few years, and it’s always a tough battle.” The Bulldogs did score a superb try through Joe Stimson from inside their half - which involved perfect passes from Josh Jackson, Flanagan, Matt Burton, Jake Averillo and Josh Addo-Carr - but that was one of the few glimpses of promise in an otherwise dour performance. A pair of soft tries either side of half-time - to Liam Martin and Spencer Leniu - then sealed the deal with plenty of time remaining in the second half.

The Panthers weren’t at their devastating best, but they still threatened to run a serious score on the Bulldogs. Despite that, both Matthew Johns and Michael Ennis said after and during the match that the Bulldogs should stick with the young playmaker, who has endured a tumultuous time in being pushed in and out of the side since his arrival at Belmore.
