Canterbury Bulldogs Team News: Curran back from ban and Salmon could start
The Bulldogs enter round two with good confidence after they beat the Dragons 28-20 last week. Head coach Cameron Ciraldo can keep faith with the same group of players but he may well make one or two tweaks on matchday. Josh Curran is back from suspension so he returns to the squad while Jaeman Salmon may get the start at lock ahead of Kurt Mann.
Gold Coast Titans Team News: Relocated Titans ready to go for their season opener
The Gold Coast Titans finally get their 2025 campaign under way as they had a bye in the opening round and they will be raring to go here. They had to relocate their training at the start of the week due to the bad weather in Queensland but they have been able to prepare in Sydney and that should not impact them. Skipper Tino Fa'asuamaleaui is fit to play after being cleared following an ACL injury almost a year ago so that is massive boost to their forward pack.

Canterbury Bulldogs vs Gold Coast Titans Prediction
The Bulldogs are favourites to win this match but the Titans should not be underestimated. They are always capable of producing a good display and they will be raring to go after their bye last weekend.
Team news is largely neutral with both teams at relative full strength but the Bulldogs will likely benefit from having played last week. They will likely have an edge in sharpness which is key at this early stage of the season and for that reason we think they get the win.
