The Bankstown City Bulls will welcome back Matt Utai, Jarrad Hickey, Ben Barba and Michael Sullivan for Saturday's NSW Cup clash against Western Suburbs at the Crest Stadium in Bass Hill (kick off 3:00pm).
The Bulls had the bye last weekend and the week before Terry Lamb's side was severely depleted with injuries, suspensions and State of Origin duties forcing Bulldogs NRL coach Kevin Moore to call up several players from Lamb's side, which also included Tim Winitana and Charlie Leaeno along with Utai, Hickey, Barba and Sullivan.
Utai was one of the Bulldogs best performers in the victory over the Titans last Friday night, Barba broke the Warriors hearts with the match winning try two weeks ago, Hickey was Man of the Match when the Bulldogs knocked off the Cowboys four weeks ago and Sullivan won the Players Player award in his only NRL appearance this season when he filled in for Michael Ennis.
This weekend Lamb will have 12 players in his squad of 17 that have played at least one NRL match in the last two seasons for the Bulldogs including interchange forward John Kite.
Bankstown City's last match was two weeks ago where they defeated the Dragons feeder side Shellharbour 34-6 despite Lamb being forced to field a very depleted line up and even using players in his 17 that weren't wanted by Bulldogs NYC coach Andrew Patmore.
The clash will be played at The Crest Stadium in Bass Hill, which is located next to Steve Folkes Reserve and the Dunc Gray Velodrome and not all that far from Bass Hill Plaza and the Twin Willows Hotel.
Last time the two sides met at Campbelltown Stadium Bankstown City won 72-16 with Danny Williams scoring four tries, Hickey plunging over for a first half hat-trick and Brent Crisp scoring 32 points from two tries and 12 goals from as many attempts.
Western Suburbs are in equal second position on 21 points along with Central Coast Storm with Bankstown City holding top position on 24 points.

Round 17 Venues & Kick Off TimesNSW Cup Competition TableTue July 7, 2009
Source: www.bulldogs.com.auThe Bulldogs will be forced to make a number of changes to their line up for this Sunday's clash with the Warriors at Mt Smart Stadium, due to injury and NSW State of Origin selection.
Head Coach Kevin Moore has been forced to make a number of key personnel changes with Brett Kimmorley, Mick Ennis and Josh Morris all chosen to represent NSW Origin and a number of big names still on the sideline.
"This will be a good test for our squad and we are very confident the replacement players will do a great job," Moore said.
"Our NSW Cup team is leading the competition and players like Michael Sullivan have been the reason for this success, therefore they deserve a chance to impress in the top grade."
It will be a busy week for Sullivan who has also been named in the NSW Residents team along with point scoring machine Brent Crisp. They will go into camp in Brisbane on Sunday evening to prepare for the Origin curtain raiser at Suncorp Stadium next Wednesday.
Other changes include the return of Matt Utai, Chris Armit and Sullivan, whilst Greg Eastwood and Bryson Goodwin await further news regarding their judiciary pleas (due midday Wednesday).
