The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs side has some slight changes for the clash with Brisbane Broncos at Belmore Sports Ground this Saturday, July 15.
After a confidence boosting, up-set win over the South Sydney Rabbitohs in Round 19, Head Coach Cameron Ciraldo has kept the majority of his winning side, shuffling some key positions to account for the return of Origin player, Josh Addo-Carr.
Injured Ryan Sutton drops out from this weeks' team list, with Corey Waddell moving into the starting lineup and Jayden Okunbor joining the bench.
Jacob Kiraz moves to the centres and Blake Wilson shifts to the right wing, maintaining his starting position after a solid performance at the weekend saw him collect a hat-trick of tries.
Star playmaker, Toby Sexton will set out to impress again in just his second match in Bulldogs colours. The match will be his first taste of a Belmore home game, in front of a 17,000+ crowd.
The Broncos will be no easy opponent with an experienced side who will take the field fresh off a bye. They currently sit atop the table with 28 points.
If the Bulldogs young pups can match motors with the Brisbane powerhouse side, the match could be the makings for the Leagues biggest upset this season.
Retirement news from Bulldogs fan-favourite, Josh Reynolds could prove the spark the Bulldogs need to send-him off with a win at his beloved Belmore home-ground. Reynolds will play in the afternoon's prior NSW Cup match and will be recognised during the NRL game.
The Family Hill will be renamed 'Josh Reynolds Hill' for the day and the veteran-playmaker will join the NRL team on-field post-match to celebrate the enormous contribution he has made to the Bulldogs club over the years.
The Bulldogs will wear limited edition Member's Appreciation Round jerseys that feature the names of Pack Members as a thank you for their ongoing loyalty and support. Limited edition Josh Reynolds tees will be available to purchase at the ground.
