Tonga to face up against old club
Former Parramatta Premier League centre Willie Tonga looks like he will face up against his old club in First Grade, as a couple of slots in the backline have opened up due to an alleged "shoulder injury" that has reportedly ruled out Ben Harris, as well as the suspension of winger Matt Utai. The Sydney Morning Herald reported that both Tonga and another new Bulldogs recruit - Jamaal Lolesi - were expected to be named in the starting side. Mark O'Meley is also unavailable and that could result in boom Bulldogs 18 year old Sonny Bill Williams making his NRL debut.
