NRL Round 13 Team News: Taking On The Tigers
The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs side to face the Wests Tigers at CommBank Stadium has been named.
The Bulldogs will face their Western Sydney Rivals in Parramatta in a Saturday night blockbuster.
Head Coach Cameron Ciraldo has made a number of changes to the line up.
- Jaeman Salmon comes into the second row in place of Jacob Preston, who has had surgery on a broken forearm, with Harry Hayes starting at lock. Preston will spend approximately 6-8 weeks on the sidelines.
- The backline remains intact from last week's victory with Jacob Kiraz named at fullback, Jethro Rinakama and Marcelo Montoya named on the wings, as well as Enari Tuala and Bronson Xerri retaining their spots in the centres.
- Connor Tracey has been named on the extended bench in a bid to return from a hamstring injury, while Captain Stephen Crichton - who is set to play for NSW on Wednesday - has also been named in the reserves.
- Debutant Jed Reardon maintains his spot on the interchange.
- Alekolasimi Jones has not been named after receiving a two-game suspension from an incident in last week’s NSW Cup match.
