In their three games at Go Media Stadium so far they have accounted for the Sea Eagles (31-20), the Roosters (46-12) and the Dragons (40-12).
There has been some movement in the team named this week with Taine Tuaupiki listed at fullback for his first NSW Cup match of the year after playing on the wing in the NRL team’s first nine games.
That sees Geronimo Doyle moved to the interchange while also included in the side are winger Edward Kosi and centre Ali Leiataua, both set to make returns from injury.
The Bulldogs have won five and lost five to sit sixth on the ladder with 12 points.
Their selected lineup features two familiar faces in prop Zyon Maiu’u – who switched to the Bulldogs earlier this season – and former hooker Taniela Otukolo who has been named at loose forward.
