The Way We See It: Canterbury haven’t been playing all that badly and don’t appear to have any worrying traits to their game – they completed a whopping 87 per cent of their sets against the Rabbitohs but simply came up against a better unit. They should be primed this week, with both Barba and Pritchard better for the run last week.

It could all boil down to the attitude of the Sea Eagles from kick-off; they averaged 78 per cent completions over the opening fortnight but just 66 per cent over the past two games. If that dip continues the Bulldogs are right in this.

We sense Canterbury have more upside so it’s the ’Dogs by seven points.
