The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs Junior Representative sides have been named for Round 6 of their respective seasons.
In what will no doubt be their toughest test to date, all four sides will host the Illawarra Steelers this weekend at Hammondville Oval as they head into the back-end of the season.
Like the NRL side, the Bulldogs' Senior Representative teams will have the bye this week, and will return to play in Round 3 against the Canberra Raiders.
