Match Preview: Round 21 vs Bulldogs
The Manly Warringah Sea Eagles are set to face the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at Allianz Stadium in Moore Park this Sunday afternoon.
This encounter is crucial as the Bulldogs currently sit second on the ladder and are looking for redemption after being knocked out by Manly in Week 1 of last season's finals.
In their most recent match, the Bulldogs managed to clinch a narrow win against the Dragons, finishing 20-18 with a late try, marking their thirteenth victory of the season.
Despite previous matchups favoring Manly, this will be their only meeting with the Bulldogs in the regular season this year.
Historically, the Sea Eagles have overwhelmingly dominated their recent encounters, with the Bulldogs winning just once in the last 12 matches-this lone victory occurred in the final round of 2022, when they edged out Manly 21-20.
Interestingly, the last time the Sea Eagles won four consecutive matches was during the same season, beginning with a close 13-12 victory over the Bulldogs.
