With Max King ruled out earlier this week due to a hand injury, Jake Turpin enters the starting side to make his Bulldogs club debut (Bulldog #865). Ciraldo has shuffled Josh Curran and Turpin in the forwards with Turpin expected to bring a wealth of NRL experience from his time at the Broncos and Roosters. The side otherwise remains unchanged.
Local junior Bailey Hayward is set to make his NRL debut off the bench as Bulldog #864.
Last week's debutants Kitione Kautoga and Bronson Xerri make their second appearance for the blue and white, while Josh Addo-Carr returns from injury (concussion) to take up the wing.
