The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs will be searching for their fourth win of the season when they face the St George Illawarra Dragons today at WIN Stadium.
The match looms as a crucial game for both sides as they aim to bounce back from a series of losses to re-enter the winners circle.
The Bulldogs enter the clash hungry to prove their resilience after a brave Bulldogs outfit faced a Sharks side who were ultimately too strong for the injured contingent. Meanwhile, the Dragons will be also be eager to claim a victory after falling just shy of the 2 points against the Roosters in a thrilling Round 8 match.
While the Bulldogs remain understrength, NSW Cup star features Declan Casey and Braidon Burns return to the starting side after proving their aptitude with a try a piece in last weeks' match.
With Max King ruled out due to injury, Harrison Edwards has been inserted into the side at prop. Karl Oloapu moves from reserves and is set to make his NRL debut off the bench.
