The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs are preparing to take on the Sydney Roosters this Sunday, June 4 at Industree Stadium, Gosford.
While the Roosters will have the home ground advantage, both sides are fresh off a bye in Round 13 and looking for the win to avoid falling on the ladder.
The Sydney side suffered three consecutive losses leading into the bye round, while the Bulldogs managed to dig deep and claw back a win before some well-earned time off.
With only two points separating the sides in 2023 and the Round marking the sole occasion they will meet this season, it is sure to be a fierce competition come Sunday.
Corey Waddell will mark his 50th NRL game for the Bulldogs when he takes the field from starting position, while veteran Josh Reynolds takes to the bench to help guide the young side to a win over the experienced Roosters.
Leaning on the upset 16-12 victory from last season, the Bulldogs will aim to make it two-in-a-row over their blue, white and red opposition.
Club Captain Raymond Faitala-Mariner remains ruled out due to illness but Ryan Sutton returns to the forward pack alongside Jayden Okunbor, who is named to start.
Both sides have a number of players in Adelaide for Origin so a question mark looms over who will back up in this crucial, not-to-be-missed clash.
Either way, the Clubs' 'next man-up mentality' of 2023 sees the Bulldogs going in as the underdogs, ready to fight for a win.
