Canterbury Bulldogs vs Brisbane Broncos Preview
What was set to be a marquee matchup has lost some of its star power due to State of Origin absences, but Friday night’s battle between the Bulldogs and Broncos at Accor Stadium remains a vital test for both sides.
Canterbury will be eager to bounce back after a gritty 8-6 loss to Penrith saw them relinquish top spot. Missing several key players again—including Stephen Crichton, Max King, and Daniel Suluka-Fifita—the Bulldogs face a tough task.
Brisbane are similarly impacted, with four Origin regulars unavailable, including Reece Walsh and Payne Haas. Still, the Broncos have climbed to fifth on the ladder thanks to three consecutive wins. Selwyn Cobbo shifts to fullback and Deine Mariner returns in the centres, bolstering their backline.
The Bulldogs have a solid record at home, but with both sides fielding depleted line-ups, Brisbane’s recent momentum and attacking flair could prove decisive in what shapes as another free-flowing, high-scoring contest.
