Theyre giving up almost 100 games in finals experience, 70kg in weight and another 100 centimetres in height.But to Penrith prop Leilani Latu, theyre just numbers.And the only ones that matter are those on the scoreboard at fulltime of Sundays NRL elimination final against Canterbury at Allianz Stadium.Its a mental thing for us. Besides Melbourne this year, weve competed against every pack that weve come up against even though weight-wise were not really there, Latu told AAP.To us, theyre just numbers. On the day, itll depend on which forward pack can get it over the other. It doesnt matter if youre taller, bigger or heavier than us, well contend every minute.While the Panthers finished one spot higher than the Bulldogs at the end of the regular season, the week-one finals hosts lag on a number of key categories against their rivals.Canterbury boast a combined 117 finals games worth of experience compared to Penriths 23; a total 1000kg against the Panthers 934kg; and 1524cm to their rivals 1441cm.The key return of Sam Kasiano from his two-game ban for kicking means the Bulldogs have five players over 110kg, compared to Penrith who have only Latu.So on paper, the Bulldogs much-vaunted forward pack has it all over the the Panthers.Penrith star Trent Merrin said it wasnt just their oppositions renowned size that made them arguably the most dangerous forward pack in the competition.Their size, their brutality and their skill factor that they have amongst that middle pack, he said.Theyre like halves in big bodies. Youve just got to be on your toes and be ready to grind and play that tough style of footy against them.He said Canterburys advantage in finals know-how is also critical, calling the Belmore-based outfit also one of the most consistent teams in the league.They keep putting themselves in that position every year and the more you play in it, the better you get, Merrin said.Theyve just been building that consistency over the years and they feel real comfortable in that sort of arena.BIG DOGS AGAINST THE TOP CATS (Forwards over 110kg):Bulldogs:* Greg Eastwood - 112kg* David Klemmer - 116kg* Sam Kasiano - 130kg* Tim Browne - 111kg* Tony Williams - 120kgPanthers* Leilani Latu - 115kg Sokratis Papastathopoulos Jersey . MLS Commissioner Don Garber and Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez also will attend the session, which was announced Monday.

Nigeria beat surprise package Ethiopia 2-0 in the second leg of their playoff for a comfortable 4-1 aggregate victory. Victor Moses converted a 20th-minute penalty after an Ethiopian handball, and Victor Obinna made certain of Nigerias place in Brazil with his powerful free kick in the 82nd at UJ Esuene Stadium. Custom Arsenal Jerseys . They had already blown a double-digit lead, fans were hitting the exits, and a long seven-game road trip waited at the end. Petr Cech Arsenal Jersey . -- An ugly goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks overcome the defensive-minded Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power play continued to struggle. Ricky Burns is not dismissing the lack of big names on challenger Kiryl Relikhs record ahead of Fridays title defence.Burns (40-5-1, 14 KOs) makes a first defence of his WBA world light-welterweight title against Relikh at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow with the possibility that victory will set up a money-spinning fight with American Adrien Broner, who may be ringside.The 33-year-old became Scotlands first three-weight world champion when he stopped Michele Di Rocco in May to revive his career following three defeats in his previous six bouts.Belarusian Relikh, who is trained by Britains former two-weight world champion Ricky Hatton, has compiled an impressive unbeaten record of 21 wins, 19 by stoppage.My trainer Tony Sims and I have watched a few rounds of Relikh and hes got a lot of KOs on his record so he can obviously punch a bit, but its the level of opposition that hes been knocking out, said Burns.He can dig a bit but were not treating this any differently to any other fight Ive had. Ive had a good long camp for this one so theres no fears for me.This is my 48th fight now and Ive been in with big punchers before, I always wind Tony up and say that its a good job I dont mind being hit in the face, but my chin has always coped OK.Were expecting a tough fight, but were confident of getting the job done. There were some big fights offered to me. They fell through for this one but now weve got the mandatory to get out of the way.Thats not to disrespect to Relikh -- hes got our full attention -- but theres some massive fights out there. I boxed Di Rocco for the vacant belt [after Broner was stripped of it for failing to make the weight in April] so Ive had to do this mandatory sstraight away.dddddddddddd We get this win and it leads to massive fights.You have to take notice of the record he brings. They might not be top names that hes been facing, but hes been knocking them out regardless.Burns has put all thought of fighting Broner (32-2, 24 KOs) to the back of his mind until after the fight.But if the brash 27-year-old from Cincinnati, who was last in action in April when he stopped Londoner Ashley Theophane, is ringside in Glasgow he is sure to let Burns know about his presence.Everybody seems to be looking past Kiryl but he has my full attention and if I dont come through this then these big fights are not going to happen, said Burns.Burns promoter Eddie Hearn says a future fight is possible with four-weight world champion Broner.Adrien contacted me and said he is coming to Glasgow on October 7 to watch the fight and if Ricky defeats Relikh I expect that fight to get made without any problems, said Hearn.All money made from remaining ticket sales for the Burns-Relikh show will be donated to the family of boxer Mike Towell.Scotsman Towell, 25, died in hospital with severe bleeding and swelling to his brain caused by injuries in a fight against Dale Evans in Glasgow on Thursday night.One week from Mike Towells final fight, we will be donating 100 per cent of all ticket sales from midnight tonight to midnight on Thursday to the family of Mike Towell, said Hearn.Hatton also started an online fundraising appeal for father-of-one Towell and the former champion donated ￡5,000. The JustGiving appeal has raised over ￡41,000. ' ' '
