Gold Coast Titans vs Canterbury Bulldogs Preview

The Canterbury Bulldogs will be chasing their first-ever Magic Round victory when they face the Gold Coast Titans at Suncorp Stadium to open Sunday’s triple-header. The Bulldogs showed resilience in their last match against Brisbane, clawing back from a 34-0 halftime deficit, though three sin bins and poor discipline proved costly. With Matt Burton, Josh Curran, and Sitili Tupouniua all suspended, coach Cameron Ciraldo has reshuffled his lineup: Bailey Hayward starts at five-eighth, Daniel Suluka-Fifita comes into the front row, and Kurtis Morrin and Blake Taaffe join the bench.

Meanwhile, the Titans are in a slump, having dropped four straight games, including a 50-18 loss to the Cowboys. Coach Des Hasler has also made changes, with David Fifita moved to the reserves, Jaimin Jolliffe suspended, and Brock Gray ruled out for the season. Klese Haas, Iszac Fa’asuamaleaui, and Josiah Pahulu have been named to fill the gaps.
