Lett earns call-up for Bulldogs

|

Prolific try scorer Michael Lett will play his first NRL match since joining the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in Friday night's clash with the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium.
Lett, who has crossed for 10 tries in six NSW Cup matches this season, has been called into the starting side as a replacement for Bryson Goodwin, who injured ligaments in his big toe early in the Bulldogs win over South Sydney On Saturday night.
The match will be Lett's first in the top grade since joining the Bulldogs from St. George-Illawarra in the off season. He played eight NRL matches for the Dragons, scoring four tries; and prior to that played three NRL games for the Sydney Roosters.
The inclusion of Lett is one of a number of changes to the Bulldogs side for the round eight fixture, with Michael Hodgson to miss the match after suffering a fainting spell against the Rabbitohs.
Corey Payne makes his return to the side after serving a one-match suspension, while Dene Halatau is also included on the interchange bench after recovering from a hamstring strain that ruled him out of the Souths game.
Jake Foster drops back to NSW Cup.
