Good afternoon everyone! We come to you from the foot of the mountains for a game which looks to be a lay down misere on paper but this is footy. Penrith Panthers welcome back their halfback in Nathan Cleary and are mostly full strength while the Bulldogs have more changes than a pop singer in their line-up. It is a big challenge but it would be a monumental upset if it happens.
