Saturday 5th September, 06:00, NRL Round 17, ANZ Stadium, Sydney, Canterbury Bulldogs versus Gold Coast Titans NRL Match Fixture

The Bulldogs haven’t won in five games and still sit bottom of the ladder, with just two wins all season. Their 34-20 loss to Canberra last week, however, showed glimpses that the Bulldogs are improving all the time. Meanwhile, the Titans stemmed their two-game losing run with a hard-fought 14-10 victory over St George. Though the finals are unreachable, the Gold Coast sit in 13th, four points clear of 14th and 15th.
