Sydney Roosters vs Canterbury Bulldogs Preview
The Sydney Roosters and Canterbury Bulldogs square off at Allianz Stadium on Friday night in a clash that could shape the finals race. Both sides come in brimming with confidence: the Roosters crushed the Dolphins with an 11-try blitz to draw level on points with Canterbury, while the Bulldogs dismantled the Warriors 32-14 to stay within reach of top spot and on par with the second-placed Storm. Their Round 11 meeting produced fireworks, with Canterbury overturning a 14-0 half-time deficit to snatch a 24-20 victory. Team news sees the Bulldogs stick with the same 17, while the Roosters adjust after Siua Wong’s concussion — Victor Radley shifts to lock, Egan Butcher takes a starting role in the second row, and Naufahu Whyte moves to prop, with Blake Steep added to the bench. With September dreams hanging in the balance, expect a high-stakes showdown.
