The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have updated their side to face the Dolphins in Bundaberg today.
The Bulldogs have been bolstered by big name returns in Viliame Kikau and Josh Addo-Carr for a Bundaberg showdown.
The Round 22 fixture, which returns to Salter Oval for the regions' second Telstra Premiership match in as many years, will see an almost full-strength Bulldogs tackle the Dolphins for their first-ever meeting.
After being rested an additional week during the Club's Round 21 clash against the Panthers, the two marquee players have been named to start in this weekends' history-making match. Addo-Carr will look to take full flight, returning from a hamstring injury while Kikau will play his first game since Round 4 (returning from a pec injury).
Ryan Sutton makes his return to the NRL side after being promoted to the interchange bench alongside Harison Edwards.
Toby Sexton returns to the field after following HIA protocol and Reed Mahoney (C) slots back into his usual position at hooker, as both he and Jacob Preston shake off the flu.
Blake Wilson retains the wing position with Braidon Burns entering the centres.
Liam Knight will make his club debut, adding some much needed depth and experience in our forward stocks.
The Dolphins, who currently sit just outside the eight, will be eager for a win to edge them closer to finals contention while the Bulldogs will try to bag a two pointer ahead of a final bye week.
