Sydney Roosters vs. Canterbury Bulldogs

This looks like a high scoring game, il go with over 7.5 trys.

Thanks to origin the Roosters lose a number of their top players and almost a complete forward line. I think this means the game should be very close as although the Dogs are in the middle of a quite awful run, they do have plenty of strength in their side and with Sonny Bill Williams back fit, one of the Nrls top attacking weapons.

We seen what a shambles the Dogs are in defense last week though. A pretty average Canberra side hit well over 50 points and could easily have scored 20/30 more. It was embarrassing how easily they were opened up and the amout of space they allowed the Raiders to play. The last 20 mins of the game looked like a training match rather than a top level rugby league game, there is obvioulsy a problem with some of their teams attitude.

Despite origin the Roosters side is still full of class in attack and although they lose both half backs they do have the players in reserve to fill in. But without their forward line you feel they will give up easy metres and allow the Dogs to play near the line. Whatever people think of the Bulldogs, and they are hopeless at the back, they can throw it around and if Sonny Bill is given enough ball, he will hurt any side.

No idea who will win but it looks like an open game with plenty of action in either danger zone.
