Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs vs Brisbane Broncos prediction
Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs will no doubt be bitterly disappointed not to at least stand a chance of getting into the top eight come the final round of NRL fixtures this regular season. But three losses from their last four down the stretch has ultimately killed them and they are stuck playing for pride and position in this final game.
Brisbane Heat have had a year they will quickly forget, an utter nightmare than not many had seen coming for Michael Maguire’s defending champions. Their defence has been utterly woeful for a while now, giving up at least 40 points in three of their most recent four. With the Bulldogs at home looking to give their fans something to cheer out, they should be backed to blow away this terrible Brisbane backline.
