The Bulldogs will be kicking off tonight.

The Bulldogs and Broncos walk out onto the field with players from a womens junior league team.

LATE MAIL: Bulldogs - Frawley starts in place for Mbye, but Mbye is moved to Hooker, and Lichaa starts off bench.

LATE MAIL: Broncos bring in Kodi Nikorima for Darius Boyd. Bulldogs: 1-17

The Bulldogs have must win games for the next 7 rounds (including tonight) to get into the 8, and save themselves from an embarrassing year.

The Broncos are comfortable in the Top 8.

Tonight's Tarantosaurus Tip: Well, don't judge me. I'm a Bulldogs supporter loud and proud, but the team aren't. Broncos by 20+

An average of 22 points for the Broncos, 20 points for the Bulldogs. Tonight, my instincts say that this may not happen.

Specifically at Broncos home though: 23 matches, 13 wins for Broncos, 9 for Bulldogs, 1 Draw.

Brisbane v Bulldogs: 51 Played. Brisbane have won 28, Canterbury have won 22, 1 Draw.

Tonight the Broncos are having their first 5 day turnaround, from Saturday to Thursday, and are taking on a dismal Bulldogs, struggling to even make the 8.

Welcome to Round 20 of the NRL! Women in League Round, where we can appreciate every woman in league, as much as possible, for 4 days of the year. (just kidding, love them ALL THE TIME!)
