Last Played: Panthers v Bulldogs

The Panthers won the only clash between these two sides 20-6 in Round 17 last season with Travis Burns scoring 16 points from two tries and four goals from four attempts. Bulldogs fullback Ben Barba made nine tackle busts but will be keen to make amends for the hellish night out he had under the high ball in which he was tormented by the boot of Luke Walsh.

Lachlan Coote was unstoppable, making 24 runs for a staggering 215 metres.
