Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs Coach Des Hasler has today named his side to take on the Parramatta Eels at ANZ Stadium, this Friday night.
After defeating the Titans last Saturday in golden-point, Hasler has maintained the same 17-man side for the clash with the arch rivals. Both Lloyd Perrett and new recruit Raymond Faitala-Mariner have been named on an extended bench with the former Warrior a chance to make his debut in blue and white.
Fullback Will Hopoate is expecting a tough encounter against his former side.
“They got us in round three and their form has probably got better since then,” Hopoate said. “They’re coming off a tough loss, so they’ll be wanting to bounce back.
“There are still plenty of friendships I have from my time there but that is all put aside this Friday night in what will be as great contest.”
