Team Announcement: Round 12 v Bulldogs

Craig Bellamy has named his squad for Friday’s Round 12 encounter with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in Sydney.

Bellamy’s team features three forced changes from Magic Round with Harry Grant, Cameron Munster and Trent Loiero unavailable following their Queensland State of Origin selection.

In their place, Keagan Russell-Smith starts at five-eighth for his second NRL game, while Trent Toelau gets the nod at hooker. Cooper Clarke earns his return to the starting pack, lining up in the No.13 jersey.

The bench includes a potential first-grade debut for rookie hooker Gabriel Satrick after strong NSW Cup form. Elsewhere, Alec MacDonald has been named to make his return from a hamstring injury and starts on the bench.

Jack Hetherington, Josiah Pahulu and Preston Conn are the extended reserves.

Friday’s game kicks-off at 8pm live on Channel 9 / Fox Sports.
