Three Bulldogs have been given the nod to represent their respective states in the State of Origin Game Three decider on July 17, in what promises to be a showdown of epic proportions.
Leading the charge is Bulldogs Captain Stephen Crichton, who will once again don the sky-blue jersey at centre for New South Wales.
With nine Origin appearances under his belt, Crichton has proven himself to be a formidable force on the field, showcasing his skill and leadership in the previous games.
Joining him in the NSW camp is the talented Matt Burton, who has been named as the 18th man.
Known for his clutch performances, Burton will bring his A-game to the team after kicking two golden-point winning field goals in recent weeks.
Meanwhile, hooker Reed Mahoney will bring his expertise to the Queensland camp, marking a return since his last appearance in 2021.
Mahoney has been a standout player this season, leading the NRL in tackles and setting up an impressive 10 tries in 16 games.
With these three Bulldogs in the mix, fans can expect a display of top-tier athleticism, strategic gameplay, and pure determination on the field.
As the tension mounts and the stakes are raised, it's time to rally behind the boys and show the support as they aim to make their mark in this crucial Origin clash.
