For the first time in 2026, the Panthers are behind at the half-time break.
Impressive stuff from the Bulldogs, who were particularly good in the opening 15 minutes of this match.
The Panthers on the other hand, have been messy. The passes are hitting the deck, and they look choppy rather than the well-oiled machine we’ve seen in the first five weeks of the season.
Canterbury have been good, but it’s hard not to think that Penrith will recover this game somehow.
Half-time: Bulldogs 16, Panthers 12
