Re: 2024 Round 11 v Bulldogs: Teams and Previews

I watched the first half (panthers/dogs) to see how they looked but because of the conditions it's hard to take anything out of it. Their defence was good, but very compressed. But that may have just been because of the conditions and panthers not being able to go round them. Sent from my SM-G975F u...

Now that I've read the rest of the thread - I really don't think the standard of refereeing this year has been any better or any worse than previous years.
