THE TEAM NEWS
CANTERBURY BULLDOGS
- Canterbury Bulldogs begin Round 9 with a spring in their step after they were able to overcome Newcastle Knights last time out and come into this on the back of their bye week.

WESTS TIGERS
- Wests Tigers have lost their last four matches after they went down to Brisbane Broncos last week but after two tough matchups, they will view this as a winnable clash.
- Wests will have to be at the top of their game if they are to earn the victory but it will be a settled side that takes to the field with Benji Marshall’s initial 17 the same that faced the Broncos.
Starting 13: 1. Jahream Bula 2. Charlie Staines 3. Brent Naden 4. Justin Olam 5. Solomon Alaimalo 6. Lachlan Galvin 7. Aidan Sezer 8. Stefano Utoikamanu 9. Apisai Koroisau 10. David Klemmer 11.

THE PREDICTION
Canterbury Bulldogs will view a spot in the finals as their target this season and they are on track at this point in the campaign. They will need to be a lot more consistent as the year progresses but they are doing well so far and will be refreshed on the back of their bye. They face a Wests Tigers side that have lost their last four and while they can pose some problems here, it is the home side that are fancied to win.
