Fiji Bati youngster Brandon Wakeham returns to the Bulldogs match-day side in this weekend’s NRL round 10 clash against the Raiders.

Wakeham has been missing from the side for the past few weeks but has been called in to replace Kyle Flanagan.

Flanagan has been dropped after he was hooked at half-time in the loss to St George Illawarra.
