The kick off for Round 2 is tonight between old foes the Roosters and the Bulldogs in a classic East vs West grudge match. The Roosters have a long history of stealing the Bulldogs players which feeds into this rivalry so we should be in for a good match tonight that traditionally has been one build on strong work by the forwards. Tonight we see if the Bulldogs can get their first win of the season after a slow start and then a massive downpour last put pay to there hopes at home last week. For the Roosters we need to see if they can last more than 40 mins against a half decent side after nearly getting caught out napping by the Titans in the second half.

Look to see how the impact of Luke Keary once again influences the game as I doubt the Bulldogs will allow him as much time, nor space as the Titans did and that could be enough to break the Roosters down and see the Bulldogs run over them in the 2nd Half with the extra days break and not having travelled back from Queensland.

Tip: Bulldogs by 7

Also remember to join us again for discussion of the match during the coverage of the game
