MORRIN SELECTED TO DEBUT, BRIDESON OUT :)

[Dogaholic]

Mitsubishi Electric Bulldogs coach Steve Folkes has called on Premier League forward Brad Morrin to make his debut against the Knights in Newcastle this Sunday. Having suffered four consecutives defeats Folkes has retained faith in his team with just Adam Brideson making way for Morrin who comes in the team on the interchange.

Folkes has retained his starting 13 from last week and is confident that the Dogs are close to turning the corner.

Morrin is a back rower and is expected to add more grunt to the Bulldogs interchange.

yeah morrin didnt look too bad at all, i also thought apart from a couple mistakes from charlie tonga he looked good too.

I was so happy that Tonga was selected over Brideson - as soon as O'Meley was out I though "here we go again" but Folkes avoided the curse!
