24 Hour Update: NRL Round 2 Team News: Bulldogs Belmore Bound
Head coach Cameron Ciraldo has trimmed his Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs side to face the Gold Coast Titans at Belmore Sports Ground this Sunday night.
In the NRL side's sole match at the Bulldogs' spiritual home ground for 2025, Ciraldo has named a strong outfit that resembles the one that defeated the Dragons last Saturday.
The backline remains intact, while Daniel Suluka-Fifita maintains his spot in the front row following a strong performance on Club debut.
Two-try hero and fellow Club debutant Sitili Tupouniua has been once again named on the interchange bench alongside the returning Josh Curran, who makes his first appearance for the Bulldogs in 2025.
In the 24-hour update, Jonathan Sua, Blake Taaffe and Kurtis Morrin drop out of the extended squad.
In what promises to be another classic Sunday afternoon fixture, Members and supporters will once again be treated to a double-header, with the Bulldogs NSW Cup team on show at 3:55pm against the North Sydney Bears.
