Mitsubishi Electric Bulldogs test pivot Ben Roberts will miss another week with the hamstring strain that sidelined him from last week's Test and club match against the Panthers.

Emerging talent Aaron Groom has been called up to make his Bulldogs first grade debut. Groom was unable to make the team flight to the Gold Coast this morning but will join the team early tomorrow morning.

Bulldogs latest signing Joe Williams, who signed with the Bulldogs yesterday, met most of his first grade team mates for the first time when he joined them on their flight this morning.

Williams completed his first session with the team when they trained late this afternoon at Skilled Stadium. The Bulldogs completed final preparations and familiarised themselves with the new surrounding, having never played at the brand new home ground of the Titans.
