Match Preview | Bulldogs v Roosters

The Roosters will look to continue their winning ways in Round 5 when they take on a hungry Bulldogs outfit at Bankwest Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

In their first Sunday afternoon battle of the season, the Roosters are set to field a full strength side against the improving Bulldogs.

The Bulldogs are coming off their first win of the season after keeping the St George Illawarra Dragons try-less in Round 4. 

From the battle of the young halfbacks to the big man battle up front, there's plenty to look forward to on Sunday afternoon.
