LATE MAIL: The latest chapter in the great Canterbury experiment confirmed
Last week we saw, not for the first time, Matt Burton and Stephen Crichton switch positions mid-game as the Bulldogs searched for a spark in attack.
It worked in the end, with Crichton nailing the game-winning field goal against the Sea Eagles, so this week we've seen him named in the six for the first time.
He's play five-eighth for Samoa before and certainly has the skill for it, but it is yet another intriguing chapter in this baffling Bulldogs experiment that has been trying to get back on the rails ever since they signed Lachie Galvin last year.
In another twist, veteran half Sean O'Sullivan returns to the bench after missing the team completely the past few weeks.
