Canterbury Bulldogs vs New Zealand Warriors Preview
Canterbury aims to solidify its status as 2024’s most impressive improver, while the Warriors try to avoid being labeled the season’s biggest disappointment. Former Penrith assistants Cameron Ciraldo and Andrew Webster face off in this exciting Saturday clash.
The fifth-placed Bulldogs have shown defensive resolve and consistency, boasting the NRL’s second-best points conceded per game and not allowing more than 26 points in 2024. After a 26-8 loss to the Roosters, they edged Cronulla 15-14 in golden point, despite not scoring in the second half.
The Warriors have been erratic but won four of their last six games, including a 32-16 win over an under-strength Broncos team. Key performances from Te Maire Martin, Chanel Harris-Tavita, and Mitch Barnett were highlights.
The Bulldogs welcome back fullback Connor Tracey and utility Kurt Mann. The Warriors remain unchanged. Despite the Warriors winning the last six head-to-head meetings, the Bulldogs are favorites and can confirm their finalist status with a win. Expect an intense contest, but the Bulldogs have the edge.
