Canterbury Bulldogs vs Sydney Roosters Preview
The Dogs and the Roosters both look to press the reset button after being held scoreless by Manly and the Storm last week.
For the tri-colours, a game against the hapless Bulldogs couldn’t have come at a better time as they hope to maintain touch with the top four.
Canterbury, meanwhile, will be hoping to avoid another scoring drought similar to the one that stretched from Round 2 to Round 5 earlier in the season.
As the market suggests, the Roosters should be very hard to beat this week with Victor Radley returning from suspension, while the fact they’ve won seven straight over the Dogs dating back to 2017 obviously makes them tough to bet against.
Jayden Okunbor is a chance at playing this week, but there is more bad news on the injury front for the Dogs with Nick Cotric suffering a potential season-ending toe injury.
This game really isn’t worth overcomplicating, but if you’re searching for some value, it’s worth noting 12 of the last 16 games between these two sides have gone Over the Total.
