The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs are proud to announce the side for the NRLW side's Trial Match against the Parramatta Eels.
In the side's very first outing, the Bulldogs will head to the Parramatta Eels Centre of Excellence in Kellyville on Saturday, June 21, kicking off at 6pm.
Bulldogs Members and supporters will have free access to the match, and will be treated to a double header with the Club's Harvey Norman Women's Premiership side on show at 4:15pm.
Head Coach Brayden Wiliame has named a strong 27-player outfit including inaugural Co-Captains Tayla Preston and Angelina Teakaraanga-Katoa.
Andie Robinson has been named at fullback, joined by Adi Vani Buleki, Monica Tagoai, Moana Courtenay and Bridget Hoy in an exciting backline with plenty of pace.
Preston will join Ashleigh Quinlan as they reignite their halves combination, while Teakaraanga-Katoa heads a strong pack with plenty of NRLW and Test experience including Ebony Prior, Tegan Dymock, Alexis Tauaneai, Latisha Smythe and Holli Wheeler to round off the starting side.
The extended interchange bench features a mix of the Club's most exciting talent, most of whom have made their way through the Bulldogs Academy.
The match will be the side's first before officially kicking off their inaugural NRLW campaign on Friday, July 4 in a massive double header with the NRL side at Accor Stadium.
