NRL Round 12 Team News: The Dolphins Come to Town

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs side to take on the Dolphins at Accor Stadium has been named. 

The Bulldogs will host their QLD-based opponents for the very first time in Sydney, and will be out to continue their recent form against the competition's newest club.

Cameron Ciraldo's side will be without State of Origin representatives Stephen Crichton, Max King (both NSW) and Kurt Mann (QLD). Viliame Kikau has been named as the side's Captain. 

In a big boost, the side will welcome back Josh Curran and Sam Hughes into the line up. 

Blake Taaffe comes into the centres in place of Crichton, while Lipoi Hopoi earns his first starting role in the NRL alongside Curran in the front row. Bailey Hayward comes in as lock.

Jake Turpin and Hughes come onto the interchange for their first NRL appearance of the year.

Don't let a bet take you away from the match.
