The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have named a new look side for their clash with the Manly Sea Eagles in Redcliffe on Sunday (1:50PM AEST).
With Ryan James and Corey Horsburgh having returned to the Canberra Raiders after being on loan for two matches, the changes from last round are:
  • Ava Seumanufagai moving into the starting line-up at prop in place of Luke Thompson, who will miss the next two matches with suspension
  • Bailey Biondi-Odo moves off the bench into the starting hooker role in place of Jackson Topine who drops to the extended bench
  • Jack Hetherington returns to start in the front row after missing two weeks with suspension
  • There will be a new look starting second row with Matt Doorey and Joe Stimson replacing Adam Elliott (stood down) and Corey Waddell (suspended)
  • There will also be a brand new bench for this game comprising of Brandon Wakeham (recently joined the squad), Ofahiki Ogden (returning from an ankle injury), Chris Patolo and Sione Katoa

You couldn't get any closer to the bottom of the barrel with that second row pairing.

I'd take any result under a 50 point loss.
Stimson and Doorey are definitely up there with the all time plodder second row pairing. Neither can move laterally. Once again all teams will have to do is a basic shift and they'll get a line break.

I'm excited to see BBO at hooker. Finally a selection that makes sense.. It's hard seeing Katoa and Flanagan picked again though.
Yeh will get smashed/run over, make 60+ tackles i'm guessing....should go well the poor kid.

He won't play the full 80. His defence is better at hooker than it is in the halves where he's more exposed. He'll probably play something like the first 30, have a breather, and come back on with 30 minutes to go.
