Unoffical Preview - Round 14 - Bulldogs VS Eels - ANZ -
It is not a 'danger game' more like a really good test for 2 sides with their best players out for State Of Origin 2. Promises to be a cracker of a game that could answer some big questions:
How good are we?
Can we win?
How good are Eels?
Bulldogs have won their last 5 games in a row against the Eels.
To Win:
I don't think they have the speed of a Manly to kill us on the front's but their backline is much so much better than ours, blistering speed but good in and under players.Their strength is the way they move the ball and speed.
Their backline is dangerous when they get to use their footskills. If we bring our A pressure game, their front's will be useless.
If we bring the pressure game then the 'process' will take care of the rest.
Changes:
There are a number of changes to the side with Trent Hodkinson and Josh Reynolds unavailable due to Origin selection whilst Chase Stanley (knee) and Aiden Tolman (hamstring) are out due to injury. Josh Jackson shifts to the centres with Dale Finucane and Sam Kasiano elevated to the starting side. It is a new look halves pairing with Damien Cook named to make his Bulldogs NRL debut and former Eel Reni Maitua selected to direct the team around the park.
Tip:
Our form has been irresistible for before the Origin Period. Can't see Eels beating us unless we have an 'off' day but.
Bulldogs by 13+ point.
Match Officials: Referees – Matt Cecchin & Henry Perenara; Sideline Officials – Jason Walsh & Adam Reid; Video Referees – Bernard Sutton & Luke Phillips.
