Centre Kerrod Holland has been named to make his NRL debut whilst hooker Craig Garvey will make his NRL club debut in the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs side named to take on the Penrith Panthers this Thursday night at Pepper Stadium.
Garvey replaces the injured Michael Lichaa (knee) who’s length of time on the sideline is still to be confirmed whilst Holland takes the place of Chase Stanley who has been unable to recover from a hamstring injury suffered in the 28-6 round one victory over the Sea-Eagles.
Front row forward David Klemmer is the other change to the side, with the NSW representative returning from a one-match suspension. The 22-year-old will start on the interchange bench with Lloyd Perrett named as 18th man.
“The boys were great last week and the forwards set the pace,” Klemmer said. “It was disappointing to miss the first match but I just need to make sure I’m ready to go on Thursday night.
“It was hard to watch but I’ve served my punishment and I can’t wait to get out there.”
