Venue: Accor Stadium, Sydney
Kick-off: 4:05pm (AEST)
TV: Fox League, Channel 9
Streaming: Kayo Sports, Foxtel
Odds: Bulldogs $1.95, Sea Eagles $1.85 – odds via PlayUp
Bulldogs: 1. Connor Tracey 2. Jacob Kiraz 3. Bronson Xerri 4. Stephen Crichton 5. Jeral Skelton 6. Matt Burton 7. Toby Sexton 8. Max King 9. Reed Mahoney 10. Samuel Hughes 11. Viliame Kikau 12. Jacob Preston 13. Jaeman Salmon 14. Bailey Hayward 15. Kurtis Morrin 16. Harry Hayes 17. Josh Curran 19. Blake Taaffe 20. Lipoi Hopoi 21. Jonathan Sua 22. Drew Hutchison 23. Chris Patolo
Bronson Xerri will return from a one-game ban for a hip-drop tackle that injured Manly flyer Jason Saab a fortnight ago. Jeral Skelton (leg) will come back into the starting side, while Jacob Kiraz has been named on the wing despite some doubt over his shoulder problem.
Five-eighth Matt Burton (concussion) will replace Drew Hutchison in his usual role as five-eighth.
Veteran winger Josh Addo-Carr has stood himself down on the eve of the NRL finals after allegedly returning a positive roadside test for cocaine. The Bulldogs’ general manager of football Phil Gould announced the star player’s decision at a snap press conference on Tuesday morning after meeting with club bosses.
The winger will miss at least Sunday’s elimination final against Manly, the Dogs’ first finals appearance since 2016. Addo-Carr has told Canterbury officials he did not consume illicit drugs last week, but stood himself down after it was explained to him by Gould that his presence in the team would likely create a media circus.
Sea Eagles: 1. Tom Trbojevic 2. Tommy Talau 3. Tolutau Koula 4. Reuben Garrick 5. Lehi Hopoate 6. Luke Brooks 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Taniela Paseka 9. Lachlan Croker 10. Matthew Lodge 11. Haumole Olakau’atu 12. Karl Lawton 13. Jake Trbojevic 14. Ben Trbojevic 15. Josh Aloiai 16. Ethan Bullemor 17. Nathan Brown 18. Clayton Faulalo 19. Jamie Humphreys 20. Toafofoa Sipley 21. Gordon Chan Kum Tong 22. Corey Waddell
Tom Trbojevic (shoulder) will be back as starting fullback but Jason Saab (ankle) is out for at least another week.
Manly coach Anthony Seibold said Trbojevic could have played in the final round against Cronulla but they kept him out of action as a precautionary measure.
Bench forward Corey Waddell could still return after serving a two-game ban for a high shot. He’s been named on the extended reserves list.
