Wests Tigers NYC side will look to make it consecutive wins over the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs when they clash this Thursday night at ANZ Stadium.

Having recorded a convincing 42-10 win over the Bulldogs when they met in Round 19, Andrew Webster’s side will be desperate to finish off the season in dominant fashion, and hopefully wrap up a top-four spot for the finals in the process.

The Bulldogs come into the match on the opposite end of the ladder to the visitors this week, but recent performances against competition heavyweights Brisbane Broncos and Parramatta Eels suggest that they’ll be far from easy-beats this Thursday.

Read on for a full preview of the match including all the need-to-know match information, team news, statistical analysis and more.

Coach’s Comment

“Particularly with these big guys that we’re coming up against, our defence has to be solid and we have to make sure that we wrap the ball up.  The Bulldogs have some big front-rowers and some big locks, so we need to work on our defence. I’ve been really happy with our goal-line defence for the past few weeks, but I want to see another improvement on that again this Thursday night…” (NYC Head Coach, Andrew Webster)
