The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs will host the Cronulla Sutherland Sharks at CommBank Stadium on Saturday 2 July, 3:00PM AEST in Round 16 of the 2022 NRL Premiership.

The club will take on the 4th-placed Sharks, looking to secure three wins in a row for the first time since Round 22, 2019 when the Bulldogs overcame the South Sydney Rabbitohs 14-6 at Accor Stadium.


Bulldogs five-eighth Matt Burton will line up for Canterbury-Bankstown this weekend after a successful debut for the NSW Blues. Burton produced a memorable performance for New South Wales, churning out 108 running metres, laying on a try assist and scoring a 4-pointer to help the Blues in a convincing 44-12 win over the Queensland Maroons in Perth on Sunday evening.

Local junior Kurt Morrin has been cleared to take the field for his second NRL appearance, the back-rower overcoming a mild shoulder subluxation to be named for this Saturday's Round 16 clash.

Head coach Mick Potter has named a similar starting 17 line-up for this weekend's encounter which took down the Wests Tigers 36-12 in our last contest before the Representative Round.

Great to see a settled line-up playing well. They'll be on a high after back to back wins into the bye plus the Origin efforts of Burton.

I'm keen as to see more of Morrin, he's got a bit of Cam Murray about him in my opinion.

Sounds like Declan Casey is set to debut this weekend. I haven't seen anything official but Scoupp's Instagram story seems pretty suggestive that it is the case..y..

Sharks wanted to win and win well, they played with a lot of intent today so I was happy we were within reach for most of the game.. wet weather games will always go either way and unfortunately it wasn't our day! attack inside the opposition 20 still needs plenty of work, but defence is mostly good.

One blown try, and one questionably disallowed and penalised one (which lead to a try to them).

Conditions were ridiculous and the field was a joke.

We stayed with the Sharks, and could have wo the game, but mistakes cost us greatly, as did one sided refereeing.
