Late mail: Young gun Karl Oloapu was tipped to make his NRL debut this week with Kyle Flanagan’s axing, however as a substitute Cameron Ciraldo opted to pick out veteran Josh Reynolds within the halves. Speaking on NRL360 on Wednesday evening, Fox League’s James Hooper revealed the consensus with the membership is that the 18-year-old is “ready to go”.

Samuel Hughes can be the doubtless man to make method if the Bulldogs do make a late change.
