Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs vs New Zealand Warriors prediction
New Zealand Warriors have been firing on all cylinders lately as they look to take advantage of the recent slump NRL leaders Penrith Panthers have been going through (losing three of their last five). The Warriors come into this game on the back of successive wins and have been defending brilliantly of late, conceding just 18 goals across those most recent two matches.
Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs responded emphatically to their home defeat at the hands of Canberra Raiders by nilling Wests Tigers last time out. But the Tigers are a complete disaster right now, so that result really should be isolated. New Zealand Warriors represent the highest level of opposition in the league right now and have to be favoured.
