Saturday is gearing up to be a great day for Bulldogs members and fans who will see all three grades in action against the Melbourne Storm (North Sydney in NSW Cup) with gates opening at 11:40am.
NYC, the first match of the afternoon will kick off at 12:30pm. The young pups will be looking to improve their second half defence this week against the Storm after leading majority of last week’s trial before falling short in the final minutes.
NSW Cup will take the field at 3:00pm with a stronger team.
The much anticipated main game will kick off at 5:30pm. We will welcome back to the field both Josh Reynolds and David Klemmer who were absent from last week’s trial and will also see the All Stars game trio James Graham, Josh Morris and Craig Garvey back in action. New recruit Will Hopoate left the field last week with a knee injury and will be rested this Saturday to ensure he is ready to go for round one. Expect to see a team taking the field that will be very similar to the one that will go up against the Sea Eagles in two weeks time.
The Storm are expected to also field a strong line up with the likes of Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk and Will Chambers all set to play, however fullback Billy Slater has not been named in the team and will be rested.
