Reynolds To Start, Roberts Back For Bulldogs

Josh Reynolds has been elevated to the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs starting side while Ben Roberts is set to return from injury in Monday night's clash with Cronulla at Toyota Park.

Reynolds will line up at hooker after Joel Romelo accepted a one match ban stemming from a dangerous throw early in Friday night's win over the North Queensland Cowboys at ANZ Stadium, while Roberts is expected to play after he was a late withdrawal from the Cowboys match due to a corked thigh.

The Bulldogs come into the match in tenth position, two wins out of the top eight with four games remaining until the start of the finals series.

In other team news, interchange forward Chris Armit will play his 150th NRL match in the encounter, seven years after his first match for the Bulldogs and nine since his NRL debut for Parramatta.

Fellow front rower Mickey Paea has also been named in first grade for the first time since round 10, on the back of some strong performances in the NSW Cup after overcoming a knee injury.
