Team News

Key Match-Up
Matt Burton v Anthony Milford: On the back of his debut Origin series, Burton has returned to the Bulldogs full of confidence and ready to chance his hand whenever the opportunity presents. From his towering bombs to his astute passing game and elusive running, the Dogs No.6 has all bases covered and his reputation grows with each passing week. In eight games for the Knights, Milford has produced nine forced dropouts and five try assists and his kicking game has come to the fore in recent weeks.
The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs travel north to take on the Newcastle Knights at McDonald Jones Stadium this Sunday afternoon kicking off at 2:00PM AEST. Tickets available here.
