Canterbury are as heavily favoured as they have been in five years and confidence is high they can get the job done against a flailing Titans team.
Best Bet
It is remarkable that it has been five years since Canterbury have been favoured by more than a try against anybody. Not since Round 18, 2017 have the Bulldogs started -4 or shorter against anyone. That run captures the end of the Des Hasler era, the full coaching tenures of Dean Pay and Trent Barrett and the interim stints of Steve Georgallis and Mick Potter.
The Bulldogs have certainly been a different team under Mick Potter. They have scored 18-plus in six of seven games under the interim mentor, covering three of their last four. They were very good posting 28 points against South Sydney.
The Titans sit below the Bulldogs on the ladder. They have covered just 2 of 8 on the road. They have covered just 4 of 13 off a loss. And they have covered just 2 of 12 as a road underdog of less than a try.
Canterbury will be laser-focused after the beating Matt Burton took in Origin at the hands of the Gold Coast skipper so expect them to get the job done.
Same Game Multi
Jake Averillo has scored five tries in three games as a fullback and is really thriving in the position.
Jacob Kiraz has three tries in seven NRL games.
Value Bet
Tevita Pangai Jnr has only 17 tries in 115 appearances but this looks a good week for him against a brittle Titans defence where he has been given the green light to go as hard as he can.
