CANTERBURY BULLDOGS VS DOLPHINS PREDICTION
It’s now five wins from the last six games for the Bulldogs, who continue to threaten to break into the top four in the NRL table. They have a finals place firmly in their sights with their 28-10 victory over the Dragons the latest outing in this hot streak of form.
The Dolphins, meanwhile, claimed a two-point victory in a hotly contested clash with the New Zealand Warriors last week in what was a hugely welcome result given their recent form. That win was just their third in their last ten games as they look destined for a mid-table finish.
The Bulldogs have the bit between their teeth right now and they have more to play for than the Dolphins at this stage of the season. The visitors showed they still had some fight in them in last week's dramatic win against the Warriors, but they are unlikely to repeat that success here.
