RL:Crichton named for Dogs as Manly welcome back Turbo

Stephen Crichton appears to have shrugged off the shoulder issue which forced him to withdraw from the NSW State of Origin squad after the Canterbury captain was named to line up for the Bulldogs.

Crichton was originally picked in Laurie Daley's NSW side for Wednesday's game two clash at the MCG, only to be removed from the Blues squad 12 hours later as a result of a lingering AC joint complaint.

But just four days after he was set to play Origin, the 25-year-old will line up at centre against Manly at Accor Stadium on Saturday.

Crichton has battled the shoulder injury all season and has played through pain in a bid to keep the 12th-placed Bulldogs' finals hopes alive.
