Key Match-Up
Paul Vaughan v Junior Paulo: Vaughan has played all 21 games for the Dogs and is churning out 134 metres and 29 tackles per match. In a badly beaten pack he still ran for 160 metres in 54 minutes of game time against the Warriors. Paulo ran for 187 metres in Round 20 against Penrith and 173 against Manly in Round 21, Paulo was restricted to just 74 metres in the loss to the Rabbitohs so he'll be on a mission from the opening whistle.
The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs face the Parramatta Eels at CommBank Stadium this Saturday afternoon kicking off at 3:00PM AEST. Tickets available here.
