Canterbury Bulldogs v Wests Tigers Round 9 Match Preview

Super Saturday football for round nine of the 2024 NRL Premiership gets underway in Sydney with a resurgent Canterbury Bulldogs side hosting the Wests Tigers at Accor Stadium.

The Bulldogs have improved tremendously this season and round eight couldn’t have come at a better time. After comfortably beating the Knights in round seven, Canterbury will look for their first back-to-back wins in 2024.

The Wests Tigers have also shown great progress under new head coach Benji Marshall, despite being ranked 15th on the NRL ladder. They have lost three of their last four games, two of which were against 2023 grand finalists the Broncos and Panthers. However, this match against the Bulldogs is a great opportunity for Marshall’s men to get back into the winner’s circle.

Canterbury Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo has been forced to replace Chris Patolo (knee) with Josh Curran in the front row. Kurt Mann returns from a hand injury at lock, while Jacob Preston has been named in the reserves and could be a late replacement for Jaemon Salmon.

Tigers coach Benji Marshall has announced an unchanged line-up after last week’s loss to the Broncos in Campbelltown.

Canterbury Bulldogs vs Wests Tigers NRL R9 predictions

The Bulldogs were well-supported favorites with the top NRL bookmakers in the early markets, and for a variety of reasons.

The Bulldogs have won three of their last five games against the Tigers in Sydney, with two of those victories by 13 points or more. Furthermore, they have reached the mark in each of their last five games, while the Tigers have lost each of their last nine games on this ground. Fresh off the day, the Doggies have shown enough improvement to win this clash by 13 or more ($2.60).

The Tigers have struggled in their last three games, losing both halves. At the other end of the park, the Bulldogs have led at halftime in each of their last three wins. Expect another strong performance from the start from the home side to complete the halftime/fulltime double ($1.73).

Bulldogs forward Samuel Hughes has been in brilliant form in recent weeks, scoring a try in each of Canterbury’s last two matches on this ground. At the same time, the Tigers have given up attempts to get up the middle due to suspect defense in three of the Tigers’ last four losses. Punters can get incredible value for Hughes on the always tryscorer market ($8).
