In the NRL Round 27 Match Preview, Bulldog fans are gearing up for an exciting showdown against the Sharks on Saturday night. After a solid victory over the Panthers last week, the Bulldogs are looking to intensify their performance as they take on a fellow title contender.
The Bulldogs currently sit in third place, poised for a first-week matchup against Melbourne in the finals. In contrast, the Sharks have a variable position; they can finish anywhere from fourth to sixth depending on the outcomes of other matches.
Coach Cameron Ciraldo has opted not to rest any players before the finals, with the lone exception being winger Jacob Kiraz, who is sidelined due to an ankle injury.
Reflecting on their last encounter in Round 4 at Sharks Stadium, the Bulldogs emerged victorious with a 20-8 score, highlighted by a double from Bronson Xerri and a standout performance in the middle from Max King, who hinted at his potential for a Blues Origin call-up.
