Canterbury Bulldogs vs Newcastle Knights Preview
The Bulldogs have defied expectations to top the ladder after four rounds, including a gritty win over the Sharks. While their style of play may not be flashy, their solid defence has been key to their success and should continue to be a major strength throughout the 2025 season.
Up against a Knights team coming off a bye, the Bulldogs will be favourites to maintain their strong start. The battle-hardened Bulldogs know how to grind out victories, and their defensive resilience makes them well-placed to handle the challenge. Expect them to keep their winning run going as they look to prove they’re for real in 2025.
