The Bulldogs are in the midst of a worrying forwards crisis.
Team Tips: The Bulldogs face a forwards injury crisis after their golden point win over the Cowboys. Prop Max King (eye) is in doubt with Cameron Ciraldo admitting after the win over the Cowboys: “He doesn’t look great.” Raymond Faitala-Mariner (head knock) and Franklin Pele(fractured arm) are both out. Second-rower Jacob Preston also has a hand injury. Adding to their forwards injury woes, Viliame Kikau (concussion) and Tevita Pangai Junior (calf) are not due back until Round 7. Winger Jayden Okunbor faces a potential one to two week ban after being charged for a hip drop tackle.
Phil Gould said the Bulldogs would make a decision on whether they would contest Okunbor’s charge on Monday, while also providing an update on Pangai Junior.
“TPJ will join the main group for training this week, for the first time since January. Albeit a very short week, because of the 4 day turnaround,” he wrote.
“Probably only one light session for the team to prepare for Good Friday game. (Terrible draw). TPJ will need to do much more. They’d like to see him complete a couple of weeks of training before playing.”
