Round 8 Team News: Squad updated for Sharks clash

1681797695597.png

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs will host the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks at home in Round 8 of the NRL Premiership, a special Round that will honour our fallen heroes and those who serve and have served in the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC Round).

Head Coach Cameron Ciraldo has updated his line-up 24 hours out from kick-off. With Karl Oloapu, Sam Hughes and Reece Hoffman omitted from the game day squad.

Kicking off just before the going down of the sun at 5:30pm on Saturday April 22, the Bulldogs will face off against the Sharks at Accor Stadium to mark the occasion.

The Bulldogs will look to put injuries aside when they square off with our foes from the Shire.

Declan Casey will return to the NRL for his first match of the season, while Tevita Pangai Junior will back up from big minutes in his first outing of 2023 against Souths last weekend.

The team will be wearing the Club's latest design, a jersey that has been inspired by our ANZAC heroes.

See the 2023 Bulldogs ANZAC Round jersey, here.

Don't miss what is sure to be a fiery contest. We’re calling on the Pack to support the boys as we commemorate ANZAC Round.

I've been saying Burton should be halfback since we signed him. Hopefully Oloapu is a late change for Flanagan. It would make sense with Burton at halfback.

Thankfully Okunbur is off the wing too. At least Ciraldo recognised what he did wrong and changed it quickly. Hopefully Skelton isn't far off..

Is it just me or is moving Burton to 7 a sign that Oloapu will debut at five eight?
very possible, if not it isn't far off anyways. Our draw opens up a bit after Shark game.

Wow

Is Baz still picking the team?

Picking injured players
Picking players out of position
Picking Reynolds

I just hope at least 3-4 of that 17 are there to avoid the media circus on debuting players. And will be swapped out before the game
