Bulldogs unchanged for Storm with extended bench
The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have named an 18 man squad for Monday's round four NRL clash against the Melbourne Storm at AAMI Park.
Chris Armit in jersey number 21 has been named on a five man interchange bench in the only new addition to the side that defeated the Sydney Roosters on Sunday, racking up its third win from as many starts this season.
Frank Pritchard and Mickey Paea have been named in the starting side after they were both elevated from the interchange bench to start against the Roosters, with Sam Kasiano and Jake Foster retained on the bench.
The side will travel to Melbourne on Sunday afternoon ahead of Monday night's game.
Meanwhile, injury has forced Toyota Cup head coach Andrew Patmore to change his side for the clash with the Storm.
Winger Daniel Abou-Sleiman (ankle syndesmosis) will miss the match, with his place taken by Chris Centrone.
And NSW Cup head coach Justin Holbrook will have a wealth of experience at his disposal once again when the Bulldogs take on Cronulla at Toyota Stadium on Saturday.
The reigning Premiers will be chasing their fourth straight victory to start the season against a Sharks side containing players from both the Cronulla and Melbourne Storm programs.
