Bulldogs reshuffle halves with Galvin and Sexton as Kiraz plays through pain for NRL semifinal.

ABC Sport

Winger Jacob Kiraz has revealed he is happy to keep playing with painkilling injections as a patched-up Canterbury turn to a barely tested halves combination of Lachlan Galvin and Toby Sexton to save their NRL season.

Hurting from a gruelling 26-18 defeat to the Melbourne Storm last week, injuries have forced Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo into a major reshuffle for Sunday's must-win semifinal with Penrith.

Galvin and Sexton will pair up in the halves for just the third game this season with regular five-eighth Matt Burton moving to centre to cover for the loss of injured captain Stephen Crichton.
