A new look Bulldogs side, led by former Panther Stephen Crichton will be out to get their season off on the right foot when they take on the Parramatta Eels at Commbank Stadium.
Crichton is one of seven new recruits lining up for the Bulldogs tonight along with Blake Taaffe, Drew Hutchison, Kurt Mann, Jaeman Salmon, Poasa Faamausili and Josh Curran.
In a shock move, Cameron Ciraldo announced Crichton would captain the side in 2024 ahead of last year’s skippers Reed Mahoney and Matt Burton.
