Good evening all
Thank you for joining our live coverage as the Bulldogs, arguably the NRL’s form team, travel to Auckland seeking to stay in the race for a top-four finish with a fifth successive win.
The Bulldogs have returned home winless from their past four visits to Go Media Stadium dating back to 2017 – but they have a lot more to play for this time. So, I’m tipping the Dogs to win well.
