The Canterbury Bulldogs' 2026 NRL campaign can end on a high while putting the Brisbane Broncos out of their misery after a season to forget for the reigning champions.
The Brisbane Broncos will finally put their 2026 NRL season behind them with their last game of the campaign on Thursday morning being a trip to Accor Stadium to face the Canterbury Bulldogs.
Just over 12 months from being crowned NRL champions for the seventh time in their history, few would have predicted the Broncos would go on to win just seven of their following 23 games in the competition.
Thursday’s opponents, Canterbury, will also miss out on the finals this season but the Bulldogs look capable of at least finishing their campaign on a high note in this one.

Canterbury Bulldogs v Brisbane Broncos Prediction
Best Bet: Canterbury Bulldogs -10.5 handicap @ 1.86
The Bulldogs have not beaten the Broncos at Accor Stadium since 2019 but they can end that wait for that elusive home win against Brisbane on Thursday.
The Broncos have been poor away from home in recent months, losing six of their last eight away matches.
Canterbury will be determined to give their fans a rare home win over the Broncos and, having won five of their last seven home matches in the NRL, the Bulldogs are backed to not only win but cover the handicap too.
Alternative Bet: Connor Tracey anytime tryscorer @ 3.10
While the Bulldogs don’t have a great recent record against the Broncos, this is a fixture Bulldogs fullback Connor Tracey has thrived in.
Tracey has scored seven tries in seven games against the Broncos and is hard to ignore at a generous 3.10 in the anytime tryscorer market for this one.
