Centre Chase Stanley has today been named to return from injury in the club’s opening home match of the season at ANZ Stadium, against the Parramatta Eels this Friday night.
Stanley suffered the hamstring injury in the side’s first match of the season against the Manly Sea-Eagles but has just needed the one week to recover and comes in at the expense of Kerrod Holland.
Prop forward Aiden Tolman left the field during the Round 2 match with concussion but has passed all necessary tests and will take his place in the starting line-up on Friday night.
“I did the concussion test on Friday and passed it,” said Tolman. “I’m back into light training and I will build up towards the game on Friday night. I will definitely play.”
“It’s always good to play at home. I’m sure all our members and fans will turn up and cheer for us on Friday night.”
In what is one of the game’s greatest rivalries, and with both side’s coming off a victory in Round 2, Bulldogs and Eels fans are encouraged to get in early and pre-purchase their tickets for the match through www.bulldogs.com.au/tickets or 132 849.
