Here’s how our two teams line up this evening.
Bulldogs
Cameron Ciraldo was forced into a change yesterday when Connor Tracey was ruled out with a hamstring injury. Jacob Kiraz shifts to fullback having previously been named on the wing on his return from a knee injury as a result, with Jethro Rinakama coming into the starting side , as has Marcelo Montoya after three weeks out of the first team.
With Stephen Crichton on Origin duty with the Blues, Enari Tuala shifts across into the centres, joining Bronson Xerri. Matt Burton and Lachy Galvin are the starting halves.
Up front, Kurt Mann will be the starting hooker after being initially named on the bench, with Bailey Hayward dropping back.
Storm
Missing three Origin players in Cam Munster, Harry Grant and Trent Loiero, the Storm are much changed from last week’s side that laboured to an error-strewn victory over the equally error-prone Eels.
Keagan Russell-Smith plays at five-eighth alongside Jahrome Hughes, the former making just his second ever NRL start.
Trent Toelau starts at hooker, with his deputy roll being filled by Gabriel Satrick, an NRL debutant who has played just eight NSW Cup games in his career.
Cooper Clarke comes in at lock.
