Cameron Ciraldo's side's three-game winning streak come to an abrupt end last time out against the Sydney Roosters. They only scored eight points in that game, four on each side of halftime.

If the Bulldogs are to secure two vital points, they must achieve something they haven't been able to do in their previous nine encounters with the Sharks: win!

Meanwhile, Craig Fitzgibbon's side appears to have bottled a berth in the top two at the conclusion of the season, with their early season form deteriorating after losing three of their last four games. The most recent of which was a heartbreaking two-point defeat to the Dolphins at home.

Canterbury Bulldogs

Blake Taff will start at fullback in place of Connor Tracey, who missed a high shot against the Roosters last Saturday. Bronson Xerri returns to the centre, with Drew Hutchinson falling to the reserves.

Stephen Crichton has been named in the reserves but is unlikely to back up from Origin with a quick turnaround from Wednesday's match.
