Moses Leota is sent to the bin for the high contact
Jake Averillo makes a break and then gets a penalty for high contact
Stephen Crichton misses left
That's a contender for try of the season right there. Matt Burton took an intercept and looked like he'd get run down before linking up with Brian To'o. To'o found Burton back on the outside, before he linked up with Crichton who scored. My description doesn't do it justice, definitely try to watch a replay of that if you get the chance
Charlie Staines knocks the ball on and it eventually goes over the sideline
Challenge unsuccessful

Underway in the second half and Spencer Leniu will bring it back for Penrith
Cleary kicks the conversion
Oh my. The Bulldogs have done all the hard work to remain only down by 4 and looked to be home for half time. It was a regulation take for Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, who for some reason decided a miracle offload that was picked off by Spencer Leniu, who extends the Panthers' lead to 8
Cotric makes a great take
Matt Burton rises above to catch the short drop out
The kick is taken dead AGAIN by Penrith, whose defence just isn't breaking

And the dream of points for the Dogs goes up in smoke as Aaron Schoupp knocks on
Knock on by Penrith, another set for the Dogs

Cleary puts up a bomb but Dallin Watene-Zelezniak makes a great catch
Averillo again kicks into touch on the last
Kikau is coming from the field after copping a stray elbow from Hopoate
Knock on by the Panthers, who have looked just about as poor as they have all year so far today
That was sarcasm. It is the furthest thing from a great rule as Penrith get a set restart
Cleary's grubber is easily fielded by DWZ as the Dogs get a set restart coming out of their own end (they're definitely happy that it wasn't a penalty. Great rule!)
Matt Doorey will return after passing his HIA
Matt Burton drops the ball, letting the Dogs off the hook

Panthers complete and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak will play it on his own 20
Cleary hooks the conversion
Charlie Staines scores Penrith's first try of the afternoon on the end of a nice sweeping play to the right. He was paying $1.28 to score at anytime today and I daresay it won't be his last.
Hetherington collects another Penrith player high. I think his stay on the field will be a short one as he's placed on report
Penalty to Penrith after Jack Hetherington collected James Fisher-Harris high
Set restart for PEN
Jake Averillo's first kick goes into touch on the bounce
Underway and Nick Cotric only just stops the ball bouncing into touch off the kickoff
Hello and welcome to LeagueUnlimited's coverage of Super Saturday and first up today we are out at Penrith as the undefeated Panthers take on the bottom-of-the-table Bulldogs. The poor old Dogs are at the longest odds ever recorded to win this one, however they can take solace in the fact they got up in both lower grade matches beforehand. In late mail, the Panthers are 1-17 from the team named by Ivan Cleary earlier in the week, while Bradley Deitz will start for the Dogs, pushing Jackson Topine back to the bench. About 10 minutes away from kickoff now.
