Round 26 of the NRL premiership continues this afternoon when the Canterbury Bulldogs take on the Manly Sea Eagles at Accor Stadium. Join The Roar for live scores 2pm (AEST).
Rookie Bulldogs forward Jacob Preston has one more week to serve for his hip-drop ban while Matt Burton is free to play after only being fined for dangerous contact in the loss to Canberra.
Raymond Faitala-Mariner (hamstring) won’t be seen again this year on field while Ryan Sutton (neck) won’t suit up against Manly.
Sea Eagles fullback Reuben Garrick is likely to be out with a fracture in his back after he was on the end of a controversial tackle from Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad late in the loss to the Warriors. Tolu Koula is the new fullback. Garrick has been named in jersey No.22 and will fight to recover but is a long shot to face the Bulldogs.
Brad Parker and Ben Trbojevic are OK to return after missing last week due to head knocks.
Josh Schuster has been dropped to the standby reserve after a lacklustre effort against the Warriors with Gordon Chan Kum Tong replacing him on the interchange.
Prediction
Canterbury have been the big disappointments of 2023. Manly have nothing to play for either but they have shown a lot more fight this season. Sea Eagles by 12

Well, that was awful. Dogs need to get Trevor Gillmeister down to show em what a tackle is

The second half got entertaining there! Well played Manly.

Imo it's because the Dogs have recruited name "star" players, instead of on work ethic & reliability. Too many egos out there to be a top team.

Imo, the biggest problem with the Dogs/their recruitment is they're only buying the flashy players who provide X factor. Who's willing to do the hard yards bar one or two players? And the squad lacks heavily in leadership. Some of them may grow into leadership roles in the future, but they're not leaders as of now.
The Barry
Roar Guru
He has a go… but a back three of Averillo, JAC and Wilson are too small. There’s no big metre eater among them

Tuilagi is one of the worst defenders I've seen this season. Horrible one on one misses and lazy on cover. From starter, to bench to Blacktown hopefully
The Barry
Roar Guru
They’re not even doing the basics right Can’t tackle, no structure to their defence, no idea how to position No shape in attack. All one out Not one player playing to their ability…

Roar Rookie
Main men Burton, Kikau, Mahoney, JAC aren’t going anywhere.

Any chance of Dragons and Dogs fans being put out of their collective misery for the year? I'm sure we could arrange something else for the TV cameras next weekend.

I don't watch the Doggies often - Wilson seems to go alright?
