The 21-year-old will become Bulldogs player number 835.


The massive suspension handed to Bulldogs back-rower Corey Waddellhas had a silver lining of sorts, with the club handing an NRL debut to another young talent.

21-year-old prop Harrison Edwardswill become Bulldogs player #835. He’ll make his NRL debut after Waddell was rubbed out for five games following an alleged eye gouge on Tino Fa’asuamaleaui during the Belmore club’s win over the Titans.The young prop has been instrumental to the club’s NSW Cupsuccess so far this year. The team are currently in third place, just three points behind the Newtown Jets.

Edwards has largely been used as an impact player, starting all but four games this year from the bench and offering a timely boost in a role similar to the one he’ll likely be tasked with on Sunday afternoon in Newcastle.
