Former skipper Callan Ward returns to the GIANTS’ line up as the only change to take on the Bulldogs at Manuka Oval.
Ward comes into the team after missing last week with suspension, with young forward James Peatling omitted.
“We’re going into Saturday night with a settled line up, which is great,” said GIANTS coach Adam Kingsley.
“Callan comes straight back in after his suspension. It was unfortunate to lose him for last week, he’s going really well in his new role as a forward so we look forward to him slotting back in.
“It’s certainly going to be a fierce clash on Saturday night, the Bulldogs are going really well but we’re up for the challenge and we know it’s going to be a tough contest, as it always is against them.
“Our members and fans in Canberra have been exceptional and we really want to reward them by putting on a good show and turning Manuka Oval back into the fortress it once was.”
