Canterbury are the best team in the comp and they showed why, coming back from 20 points down against the Raiders, proving that if they can just get their hands on the ball they will dominate you.

The Bulldogs will face the Roosters, who have also been impressive lately and will be fresh off the bye, however, they will be no match for the Dogs, especially considering the game will be held at Accor where they have lost 6 of their last 8 matches.

The Roosters attack has been the key to their success, but they come up against the best defence in the comp, and their own ability to deter their opponents has been poor, despite getting victories of late.

The Dogs will play for 80mins and choke the Chooks in the end and run away with the match, scoring over their team total, peppering their poor left side defence, which is where the in-form Jacob Kiraz will attack.

Canterbury have an average winning margin of 16 points and a minimum of 8 points.
Canterbury has averaged 30 points per game in their last 4 matches.
Sydney conceded an average of 27.3 points per game in 2025.
Jacob Kiraz has 4 tries in his last 2 games.

What a wild show the Bulldogs put on in Round 10, coming back from 20-0 down at half time to beat the Raiders 32-20. The result simply came down to possession, with the Raiders winning that battle 60%-40% in the first half but the Bulldogs replied with 71% of the ball in the second half, along with 62% territory and a whopping 8 linebreaks after they came back out of the sheds.

We harp on about how important how the simple fact of ball and territory wins games and this is the perfect example of that. The impressive part of it all is that the Bulldogs were able to settle themselves after a tumultuous first half with 8 errors and come back and get the job done.

This victory makes them an even bigger danger, no matter how big of a lead a team has the Dogs can claw back if given a little ball.

The Roosters are fresh off the bye and will want to continue their hot run that they had before their week off which had them winning 3 of the last 4 matches.

After a slow start to the season averaging just 16 points per game in their first 4 matches, the Chooks attack has found its flow with its new halves combo of Sandon Smith and Hugo Savala, averaging 30 points in the last 4 games.

Sydney have been clinical all over the field, especially when moving the ball around in their own end. The Roosters have 8 linebreaks in each of their last 2 matches and are ranked second in the NRL with an average of 6.2 per game.

The concern for the Roosters is still their mid-pack defence that ranks ninth or worse in the majority of our key defensive stats and have also allowed and average of 25 points in their last 4 games, despite winning three of those matches.
