Canterbury Bulldogs v Dolphins Tips

Canterbury Bulldogs won by a 20-point differential in their last home game against this opponent. The Dolphins won only 1 of their past 5 league matches. I expect an easy win for the hosts.

The Dolphins need a dramatic uptick in consistency. While capable of brilliance, their recent form, including a flat loss to Newcastle, suggests they lack the grit to match the Bulldogs across 80 minutes. They’d need a +8.5 handicap minimum to stay competitive on the spread.

Canterbury Bulldogs look good for the win in my opinion, they won the 2 previous home games against this opponent and Bulldogs have actually improved since then, 4 wins from their last 5 games so they are clearly in good form. Dolphins haven't been winning many away matches just lately, i think the Dolphins are a better team at home.

The Dolphins have one of the most cohesive and dangerous attacking games in the NRL. This will test and trouble a Bulldogs defense that is nothing special. Price a tad high here.
