Match: Storm (6th) v Bulldogs (17th)
ROUND 2 - SATURDAY 11TH MARCH
7:35pm
Match Centre
Venue:AAMI Park, Melbourne

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have confirmed the team to step up against the Melbourne Storm this Saturday at AAMI Park (7:35PM AEDT).
Paul Alamoti, who made his NRL debut last week to become Bulldog #837, will be in the starting pack for the Bulldogs again this weekend. Fellow debutant, Jacob Preston (#842) and Jayden Tanner (#844) have been listed as interchange.

Tanner will make his start from the bench, called up again from outside the top 30 to support the Bulldogs squad who have been hit hard by injuries to Tevita Pangai Junior (calf), Andrew Davey (concussion), Josh Reynolds (groin strain), Luke Thompson (ankle), Declan Casey (shoulder), Sam Hughes (back), and Chris Patolo (left knee).

While the Bulldogs remain understrength due to the injuries, the young side are keen to prove their resilience leading into Round 2. The Melbourne Storm outfit is likely to be affected by a number of injuries sustained in the first round action also.

Star performer from the weekend, Reed Mahoney will lead the side out for a second tough game away alongside on-field co-captain Matt Burton, while Josh Addo-Carr is preparing to line up against his former club.

Kick off will be at 7.35pm.

Looking at the Storm team, this will be our best chance in a long time to beat them. Even with our dodgy performance last week, we should have the players to beat them. Half their side are nobodies.

Play Alamoti at right centre. Alamoti is a beast at right centre.

Play Jeral Skelton left centre.

Drop Waddell and play Davey. Waddell has the lowest iq and is a dud.

Also, Nu Brown is not a lock, so keep him at 14 off the bench.

Drop Flanagan and play Reynolds till Oloapu is ready. He looks so fit for his age and would outplay Flanagan till he’s 40.
