After almost five years in the wilderness due to a performance enhancing drugs ban, Bronson Xerri will make his NRL return as Canterbury takes on the Roosters at a rain-sodden Stadium Australia. Follow all the action in our live blog.
Round 5 of the NRL continues with the Bulldogs hosting the Roosters at Stadium Australia before the Knights face the Dragons in Newcastle.
Later, Newcastle will look to get its season back on track as it faces St George Illawarra in the Hunter. Roosters winger Dom Young hit Taaffe with a high tackle. Taaffe is done for the night with an HIA while Young has been sent off.Mahoney puts a kick in, Jennings cleans it up but Mann makes a great shot to drive him back into the in-goal.
Jennings, like Xerri, is also making his return from a four-year performance-enhancing drugs ban. At 35 years old, he'll be the oldest player in the league once he sets foot on the field.Kikau blows straight past Manu and Young again and he's in the clear, Tedesco tries to take him down front on and catches the big fella's hip right to the head and he's out cold.
The Roosters have one change with Nat Butcher dropping out of the side and Sitili Tupouniua coming in at second row. Egan Butcher is in on the bench. That's the easy part.
