Round six of the NRL season continues with Canterbury traveling to Melbourne to take on the Storm before the Broncos and Dolphins meet in Brisbane’s final battle.
The Bulldogs will be without many regulars after last week’s win over the Roosters, with star recruit Stephen Crichton lining up at fullback for the first time.
The backbone of Melbourne stars Ryan Papenhuyzen, Cameron Munster, Jahrome Hughes and Harry Grant will combine again as the Storm look to secure back-to-back wins.
Brisbane will later welcome the return of Reece Walsh from a facial fracture for their clash with the Dolphins.
A huge crowd is expected to pack Lang Park for the latest edition of sports’ newest rivalry as the Dolphins look for their first win over the Broncos.
