NRL Predictions: Canterbury Bulldogs vs Penrith Panthers

Details:

Panthers all day.Dogs had a lot of bad press today, with so many commentators asking where all the promise of the preseason has gone. All the hype for the last few months has'nt appeared. And it won't appear for this West Sydney derby either Penrith are one of, if not the juggernaut team of the competition and I expect them to hand the Bulldogs a rugby league lesson in this game. They were hurt badly by their loss in the grand final last season and I see a highly motivated side that will show little mercy to the lesser sides of the competition, including this Bulldogs team. Expect the Panthers to rack up a big win here by at least 20 points.

• Penrith Panthers have won 21 of their last 24 matches.
• Penrith have kept their opponents to 16 points or less in 21 of their last 25 matches. 
• Canterbury Bulldogs have won 4 of their last 23 matches
• Canterbury Bulldogs have lost 5 of their last 7 matches against Penrith Panthers.
