Having climbed off the bottom of the ladder with consecutive wins the Bulldogs look to continue their resurgence against the fifth-placed Sharks.
With Matt Burton and Josh Addo-Carr combining superbly the Bulldogs have racked up 70 points in the past fortnight to blow the Eels and Tigers off the park and they look to be enjoying their footy under Mick Potter.
The Rundown
Team news
Bulldogs: Matt Burton is expected to back up after his stunning Origin debut and his presence wouild be a huge boost. Forward Ava Seumanufagai is a chance to return from a calf injury which would offset the loss of Kurt Morrin, who suffered a shoulder injury on debut against the Tigers.
Key match-up
Kyle Flanagan v Nicho Hynes: The Bulldogs playmaker has found form big time in the past two weeks, combining superbly in the halves with Matt Burton to unleash his side's attack. When things were tough early in the season the Bulldogs took seven games to rack up 70 points but they've scored that many in a fortnight with Flanagan standing tall. Hynes has enjoyed a magnificent season since joining the Sharks with 15 forced dropouts, eight try assists, 14 line break assists and 30 offloads. The former Storm man has the size and speed to carve up a defensive line and he'll make the Dogs pay if they give him room to move.
Stat Attack
14. Bulldogs star Josh Addo-Carr is fourth in the NRL with 13 line breaks.
