Max King has been cleared to return for this afternoon's clash with the Knights at Accor Stadium.
King was in doubt for the match following a hand injury sustained in Round 5 and was named in an extended squad for this weekend's battle against the Knights as an outside chance to play. Having made it successfully through the week, he re-joins the starting line-up.
Sam Hughes will start from the interchange while Poasa Fa'amausili drops out from this afternoon's match, having played in the earlier NSW Cup win over the Knights, 52-6. Jake Turpin comes in at 18th man.
The Bulldogs otherwise take an unchanged team into the Round 7 clash.
Canterbury will be gunning for their third win of the season, cheered on by a home crowd and motivated for redemption against Newcastle.
