The Western Suburbs Magpies will travel to Belmore Sports Ground this week to take on the Bulldogs for Round 20 of the Knock-On Effect NSW Cup campaign.
They’ll be looking to bounce back into the winner’s circle after last week’s defeat against the New Zealand Warriors.
The contest saw the sides trade blows in the opening exchanges before the Warriors proved too strong, running out 44-20 winners.
The backline sees a couple of changes, with Brenden Naicori coming in at centre and Fiohiva Fainga’a shifting to the wing.
A shuffle to the forward pack has Mavrik Geyer starting in the front row, Lachlan Broederlow joining Tony Sukkar in the second row, and Charlie Murray starting at lock.
Bailey Hodges, Kit Laulilii, Peter Taateo, and Luke Jack make up the interchange bench.
