The Bulldogs need to continue to push up in support to beat the Panthers.

The Panthers and Bulldogs clash in a do-or-die elimination final on Sunday afternoon.

NRL.com analyst Matt Elliott believes the Bulldogs need to put more faith in their ball carriers and push up around the middle of the field to make the most of any half-chance created by a runner pushing his head through the line. It will then be up to Josh Reynolds and Moses Mbye to make the most of the opportunity. 

Elliott also highlights how important Sam Kasiano is to the team and the space he creates with his massive charges. 

For the Panthers, it is all about their ability to have late footwork at the line. Elliott marvels at how their big men continually ask question of the opposition forwards by constantly changing the point of attack which creates plenty of chances for their electrifying outside backs.

Who will advance? See what Elliott thinks in the video below.
