The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have finalised their line-up to take on the Cronulla Sutherland Sharks at CommBank Stadium on Saturday 2 July, 3:00PM AEST in Round 16 of the 2022 NRL Premiership.

Bulldog's Declan Casey is set to make his NRL debut for Canterbury-Bankstown, after Corey Allan was recently ruled out due to a groin injury.

Bulldogs five-eighth Matt Burton will line up for Canterbury-Bankstown this weekend after a successful debut for the NSW Blues. Burton produced a memorable performance for New South Wales, churning out 108 running metres, laying on a try assist and scoring a 4-pointer to help the Blues in a convincing 44-12 win over the Queensland Maroons in Perth on Sunday evening.

Jayden Tanner will round out the changes, after being named as 18th man for today's fixture.
