Gold Coast Titans vs Canterbury Bulldogs Preview
The Canterbury Bulldogs will be aiming for their first-ever Magic Round win when they face the Gold Coast Titans at Suncorp Stadium to kick off Sunday’s triple-header. The Bulldogs showed some resilience in their last outing against Brisbane, fighting back after a 34-0 first-half deficit, but three sin bins proved costly in a match overshadowed by poor discipline. With suspensions to Matt Burton, Josh Curran, and Sitili Tupouniua, coach Cameron Ciraldo has made several changes. Bailey Hayward starts at five-eighth, Daniel Suluka-Fifita replaces Curran in the front row, and Kurtis Morrin and Blake Taaffe join the bench. On the other side, the Titans are in a slump, having lost four straight matches, including a 50-18 defeat to the Cowboys. Des Hasler has named a reshuffled bench, with David Fifita dropped 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 step into the vacant spots.
