In a series analysing who will line up in each position for all 16 teams in the opening round of the Telstra Premiership in 2021, NRL.com looks at the Canterbury Bulldogs.
NRL.com says: Nick Cotric is likely to start the season at centre and while Jake Averillo is a chance of pressing for a full-time move to five-eighth at some stage he is in doubt for the start of the season with an elbow injury.
Lachlan Lewis or Brandon Wakeham is likely to start the season in the halves partnering Kyle Flanagan. The other will compete with Sione Katoa for the bench utility spot.
