Canterbury Bulldogs vs Sydney Roosters Preview

The Canterbury Bulldogs will look to extend their fairytale run in the 2025 season when they take on the Sydney Roosters at Accor Stadium in Friday night’s second clash. Boasting an impressive 8-1 record—their best start in over three decades—the Bulldogs showcased remarkable resilience last weekend, storming back from a 20-0 halftime deficit to claim a 32-20 win over the Raiders. That comeback win only strengthened their credentials as genuine premiership contenders.

Meanwhile, the Roosters come into the match in solid form, having notched two commanding victories before last week’s bye, racking up a combined 82 points. Currently sitting just outside the top eight, they’ll be keen to make a statement by toppling the competition leaders.

Team changes add further intrigue to the matchup. For the Roosters, Lindsay Collins returns via the bench. The Bulldogs, however, are forced to shuffle their lineup—Jaeman Salmon is sidelined with injury, Harry Hayes steps into the starting side, and Luke Smith is set to debut off the bench.

With both sides eager to keep their momentum alive, this clash promises to deliver plenty of fireworks.
