According to sharks.com.au, after securing a win against a depleted Panthers team last week, the Bulldogs are eager to elevate their performance as they prepare to face fellow title contenders, the Sharks, on Saturday night.
Currently, the Bulldogs sit in third place and are set for a matchup in Melbourne during the first week of the finals. The Sharks, however, have the potential to finish anywhere between fourth and sixth, depending on the outcomes of other matches.
Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo has opted not to rest any players ahead of the finals, with the exception of winger Jacob Kiraz, who is sidelined due to an ankle injury.
In their previous encounter at Sharks Stadium during Round 4, the Bulldogs triumphed over the Sharks with a score of 20-8, aided by a stellar performance from Bronson Xerri, who scored twice, and Max King, who demonstrated his readiness for a potential Blues Origin call-up.
