Penrith Panthers v Canterbury Bulldogs

CommBank Stadium, Sydney
2.19-1.68
>A huge clash to kick off Round 17 as the surging Panthers take on the top-of-the-table Bulldogs. The Panthers are on a three-match winning streak, capped by a stunning 28-18 victory in New Zealand against the Warriors without their Origin stars. The Bulldogs are fresh from a bye in Round 16. Their last outing was a solid 24-18 win against the Rabbitohs, and their form over the last five matches is impressive, establishing them as the team to beat. The Panthers are a transformed side with the return of Dylan Edwards, Nathan Cleary, Brian To'o, Liam Martin, and Isaah Yeo, who were all rested after their Origin duties. This injects world-class talent back into their spine and forward pack. The Bulldogs also welcome back their representative stars, with captain Stephen Crichton, five-eighth Matt Burton, and prop Max King all returning, adding significant firepower to their already formidable lineup. Since 1998, the Panthers have had the wood over the Bulldogs, winning 27 of their 46 encounters. Penrith had won five consecutive matches against Canterbury leading into the 2025 season, including a hard-fought 16-10 victory in Round 10, 2024.
