New Zealand Warriors vs Canterbury Bulldogs Preview
New Zealand bids farewell to club icon Shaun Johnson on Friday night, renaming the stadium in his honour and planning a whole heap of fanfare.
It is good practice to bet against teams in that situation though as the market typically overreacts.
Canterbury are still being misunderstood by the market with 14 covers in their last 19 matches and they are a clear bet again.
The Bulldogs have covered seven of nine interstate and eight of nine at night while teams off conceding 10 or fewer cover at 58% over the backend of the season, while the Warriors have covered just three of 14 at home.
The Bulldogs have now conceded fewer tries than any team and the Warriors attack is unlikely to score many.
Bronson Xerri has six tries in his last six games and Matt Burton has nine tries in 20 matches this year.
