And here is the home side led out by captain Corey Parker.
Not far away from kickoff as the Bulldogs come out of the tunnel.
Tonight is the 50th meeting between the two sides with Brisbane winning 27 of those, however Canterbury have won the last 2 matches and in the last 14 matches it's 7 wins a piece.
Welcome to Suncorp Stadium for Thursday Night Football, where the Brisbane Broncos host the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in what promises to be an absolute blockbuster. The Broncos are looking to make it 3 wins on the trot after suffering a dramatic mid season slump, while the Bulldogs who have won 7 of their last 8 matches will be looking to secure a Top 4 birth with a win tonight.
There are no changes for the home side, who are as per program, with Anthony Milford cleared to take his place after an injury scare at training earlier in the week.
Canterbury have just the one change with winger Sam Perrett ruled out, which sees Kerrod Holland come onto the wing in jumper #21.
The result of this game will have huge ramifications for the make up of the Top 8 and it promises to be an absolute belter, so stay tuned for all the action @LeagueUnlimited. Kick off not far away!
