NRL Round 14 Titans v Bulldogs match odds, preview and selections

When: Sunday 14th June, 2015, 4pm

Where: Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast, Queensland

Television: Nine

Weather: Possible Shower

IT IS that time again when we face a depleted weekend of football due to state of origin commitments, with game two set to be played on Wednesday.

Some sides have been allocated a bye this weekend, with a headache for other coaches who are forced to scrape a side together.

After weeks of frustration for Canterbury Bulldogs fans, last Monday we finally saw a glimpse of the 2014 side that roared through the finals series. Structured sets, trick-shot plays and creative backs saw the men from Belmore topple the Dragons by 13 points.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing for Des Hasler’s side, after James Graham succumbed to another injury and lasted just 15 minutes on the field. The biggest talking point of the match was the replacement of New South Wales origin halfback Trent Hodkinson, with Josh Reynolds and Moses Mbye inspiring the Dogs with a successful late field goal and converted try.

The Gold Coast Titans also come into this match on the back of a winning performance last week, successful against the Wests Tigers at Campbelltown Stadium by 27 points to 20. After a Tigers’ resurgence in the second-half, Neil Henry’s men showed great composure and focus to regain the lead and forced the Tigers out of the contest with a field goal.

The Bulldogs are missing halfback Trent Hodkinson, fullback Brett Morris, centre Josh Morris and forwards Josh Jackson and David Klemma. The Titans lose Nate Myles to state of origin commitments, along with Dave Taylor and Kane Elgey.

The Gold Coast outfit appear to have an edge over the Bulldogs, winning six of their 11 encounters and the Canterbury team have only been successful once at Cbus Stadium.
