Canterbury Bulldogs team list, latest squad news for Round 10 image

Canterbury bounced back from their first loss of the season with a win at Magic Round to cement their spot at the top of the ladder. 

The Bulldogs beat the Gold Coast but now face a much tougher proposition when they face the red-hot Canberra Raiders in the nation's capital. 

Ricky Stuart's team have won five games on the bounce, but can the Dogs bring this run to an end?

One major inclusion and one major absence will hit the Dogs for their battle with the Raiders. 

Matt Burton has served his one-match ban for a high shot and will take over from Bailey Hayward at five-eighth. The latter will revert to the bench with Blake Taaffe dropping out. 

Jacob Preston is facing three matches out after being cited for a crusher tackle during his side's win over Gold Coast. 

With Sitili Tupouniua already on the sidelines for a month after being hit with his own suspension, there is no obvious replacement on the edge. 

One solution could be to move Jaeman Salmon into Preston's position with Kurt Mann then taking over at lock. 

Sam Hughes, Josh Curran and Jack Todd remain unavailable, so Taaffe, Lipoi Hopoi and Jake Turpin are likely to be competing for the vacant spot on the pine.
