All eyes will be on Canterbury coach Cameron Ciraldo in the lead-up to the Bulldogs’ King’s Birthday clash with Parramatta, with Lachlan Galvin named on an extended bench.
After a week off with the bye, the Dogs have Galvin available for selection following his controversial mid-season move from Wests Tigers, with the expectation that he will make his club debut against the Eels off the bench.
The Broncos have received a welcome boost, with Reece Walsh returning from injury; while the Dogs are among a number of clubs with returning Origin starts, including the Knights, who have Kalyn Ponga available again after he wasn’t risked against the Dragons.
