The Canterbury Bulldogs face off against the Sydney Roosters at Accor Stadium in Round 11 of the 2025 NRL season this Friday.
The Bulldogs roared to a 32-20 win against the Raiders last week and are 8-1 in the season, sitting comfortably on top of the ladder. Stephen Crichton's men chased down a 20-point deficit, making a comeback with six tries in the second half.
However, they have a poor record against the Roosters, winning in just two of their past 12 meetings.
On the other hand, the Roosters are fresh off a bye week after wins over Dolphins and Dragons. They are in great attacking form at the moment, having scored a combined 82 points in the last two NRL games.
