Bulldogs vs. Dolphins Predictions

Ended

The Bulldogs have been hit hard by State of Origin, so the NRL front runners could have a tough time covering the spread against the visiting Dolphins.

Best Bet

Dolphins +7.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Bulldogs are having a great year so far, but losing Stephen Crichton, Max King, and Jacob Kiraz isn’t going to make life easy against the Dolphins. Crichton is their captain, so his loss to SOO duty could have a big impact.

The Dolphins lose Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Tom Gilbert. They won’t have the speed of Tabuai-Fidow, but Jake Averillo slots in nicely, and they still have the likes of Kodi Nokorima and Isaiya Katoa in the halves, and they also have Herbie Farnworth, who is an English international.

Getting a +7.5 line is ideal, and although beaten 30-10 by the Bulldogs last year, their first meeting in 2023 was a much closer contest at 23-22. The Dolphins should keep it close in this situation, which favours them.

Same Game Multi

Dolphins +7.5, Herbie Farnworth Anytime Try Scorer, Bronson Xerri Anytime Try Scorer, Under 41.5 @ $29.50

Bet Now

Our Bulldogs vs. Dolphins same game multi picks are going for a big payout of $29.50. The odds are boosted by the generous prices for Farnworth and Bronson Xerri to score a try.

Farnworth is paying a healthy $2.70 to score for the Dolphins and having scored a try in each of his last five games, we can’t quite understand the odds. He is a crucial player for the Dolphins, and $2.70 to score a try is too good to pass up.

Bronson Xerri has also been in try scoring form. He has three tries from his last five games, including one last week. His $2.40 odds are worth taking, especially in a Bulldogs team missing many of their better scoring threats.

Because both teams are down on players, under 41.5 is worth taking. Most of the money has come for the over, but it could be a 18-16 score line.

Best Value Bet

Dolphins Halftime-Fulltime @ $4.10

Bet Now

There is every chance of the Dolphins pulling off an upset at Accor Stadium. They might have only one win from their last four games, but we like the way they fought back late against the New Zealand Warriors last week.

The key is starting better, and we expect coach Kristian Woolf to hammer that point home. If they start better, they could lead at halftime and run away with the game.
