Bulldogs and Eels clash in crucial match, both aiming to keep finals hopes alive.
NHLW Round 11 features an exciting matchup in the Western Sydney Derby, where the Bulldogs take on the Eels. According to bulldogs.com.au, the Bulldogs remain mathematically in contention for the finals after their surprising victory over the Sharks last week. Although the path to finals is challenging-sitting two points behind the Titans and facing a 92-point deficit in points difference-the Bulldogs can significantly enhance their chances with a strong performance against the Eels. A win in this derby is crucial for their aspirations of reaching the finals for the first time.
The Bulldogs have proven they can compete with the league's best and have displayed a resilient defensive approach throughout their inaugural NRLW season. Their goal is to end the season on a high note with consecutive victories.
On the other hand, the Parramatta Eels come into this match needing a win to keep their finals hopes alive. Following a commanding win against the Tigers last week, the Eels have positioned themselves just one point behind the sixth-placed Titans with only one game remaining. A victory against the Bulldogs would propel them into sixth place prior to the Titans' clash with Canberra on Saturday.
