The Bulldogs will have three players make their NRL debut after Dylan Napa, Brandon Wakeham, Aaron Schoupp, Corey Waddell and Sione Katoa are stuck in 14-day isolation after breaching the NRL’s COVID-19 protocols.
24 year-old Falakiko Manu, 19 year-old Bailey Biondi-Odo and 19 year-old forward Chris Patolo will all get their first taste of NRL today.
Meanwhile, the Sea Eagles have their big names back in action including Origin stars Daly Cherry-Evans and Tom Trbojevic.
Bulldogs coach Trent Barrett was wary of Trbojevic, who shapes up as the most in-form player in the comp right now.
“Today we’re facing a side that’s red hot at the moment with a fullback that’s got spiders on him, so we’ve got a big job to do on him today,” Barrett said on Fox Sports pre-game.
“We certainly can’t be passive today, we’ve got to get up and at him.”
