Death, taxes and low-scoring Bulldogs-Eels games.

These two have historically played low-scoring affairs and with both teams in true desperation states, defence will again be the focus for both outfits.

Both of these teams are anchored in the bottom five and have bottom five defences. That tends to lead to low-scoring games though with the under hitting at 63% when two bottom five teams meet.

The under is 27-10 since 2008 when these teams meet, hitting in eight of the last 10. Four of the last five have tallied 42 or fewrr points.

The under is 9-5 when the Bulldogs play a bottom five team and 10-7 when the Eels are in the same spot.

The under is a super bet.

The under is an outstanding bet and we are anchoring an alternate under with the average between these two teams just 30 points per game.

Jacob Kiraz is Canterbury’s best player and has scored in four straight games.

Brian Kelly has been in good form with three tries in his last five games.

Kelma Tuilagi will be licking his lips coming into this matchup. Cameron Ciraldo showed his hand last week when he astonishingly did play Jaeman Salmon on an edge. The defensive turnstile must now tackle the hard-running Tuilagi, who has two tries this year and will be confident he can get over in this one.
