The Late Mail: Bulldogs v Wests Tigers

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs v Wests Tigers

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs v Wests Tigers

Canterbury's Connor Tracey is out, with bench utility Blake Taaffe to start up the back instead. Curran is benched with Hughes starting prop and the bench vacancy created by Taaffe's move into the starting side is filled by Jacob Preston who returns from a jaw injury.

Wests Tigers have just one change but it's a key one, with Jake Simpkin replacing the injured captain Api Koroisau.
