Brisbane Broncos vs Canterbury Bulldogs Preview
After a challenging two weeks, Brisbane is set for another major test as they take on the undefeated Canterbury Bulldogs. The Broncos are coming off a narrow 20-18 defeat to the Warriors, falling short despite a spirited late comeback. To make matters tougher, star fullback Reece Walsh is out with a knee injury, prompting a reshuffle in their backline.
On the other side, the Bulldogs are flying high. Fresh from a commanding 32-0 shutout of South Sydney, they’re riding a wave of confidence and defensive dominance, having conceded just one try in their past three outings. Max King and Jacob Preston continue to shine, while Viliame Kikau’s return adds more punch to an already formidable forward pack. With momentum and form on their side, the Bulldogs are firm favorites to extend their unbeaten run.
