Toby Sexton says the Bulldogs have one less injury to worry about, with the recalled halfback declaring he is fit to play in Sunday’s elimination semi-final against the Panthers.

Canterbury were sweating on the results of scans on Sexton’s sternum after he suffered a blow to the chest in the Bulldogs’ loss to Melbourne on Friday , but he declared on Monday he was “fresh as a daisy” and prepared to play wherever coach Cameron Ciraldo needs him.

“I pulled up pretty good, so I’ll be ready to go this weekend,” Sexton said. “Yep, I’m playing, all good. No needling [injections], I’m fresh as a daisy, so I’m good to go.
