England's Graham to debut for Dogs

February 8, 2012

England international prop James Graham will make his Canterbury debut on Sunday when the club returns to its spiritual home of Belmore Oval for the NRL trial clash with the Sydney Roosters.

Graham has joined the Bulldogs from St Helens following a glittering career in the Super League where he won the Man of Steel Award in 2008 for the best player in the competition.

Coach Des Hasler has named two sides for the game, which marks the first match at the newly refurbished venue since 1998. The two sides will play in either half with Ben Barba, Frank Pritchard and Josh Morris all in the squad to start the game.

Another new signing, Luke MacDougall, lines up in the squad that will play in the second half.

New skipper Michael Ennis and first-choice halfback Trent Hodkinson are both out of the game as they make their way back from off-season surgery. Hodkinson is expected to be fit for the Bulldogs' season opener against Penrith on March 3.
