ANZ Stadium, Sydney
The Bulldogs have a tremendous record against the Dragons, but it’s hard to see them having enough points to go with the Dragons, who are the best attacking side in the NRL. Kieran Foran is out for the Bulldogs, with Jeremy Marshall-King moving to five-eighth and Michael Lichaa recalled to play hooker. David Klemmer has been named to back up after Origin. The Dragons have named all of their Origin stars (Ben Hunt, Tyson Frizell, Jack De Belin and Paul Vaughan) to back up as well, and have the luxury once again of naming an unchanged team.
Recent FormCanterbury’s 3-9 record has consigned them to second last on the ladder. The Bulldogs have the ninth best defence but rank a lowly 15th in scoring.

Final ThoughtsThe Wolf can see the Bulldogs struggling to score many points against the Dragons despite their impressive record against the Red V. Dean Pay’s men rank 15th in scoring and will have to rely on the inexperienced halves pairing of Jeremy Marshall-King and Matt Frawley to ignite the attack in Foran’s absence. Unders looks a great play, with the Dragons doing most of the scoring.
