Canterbury Bulldogs team list, latest squad news for Round 5 image

Canterbury are the only unbeaten side remaining in the competition after a month as they are sitting pretty at the top of the ladder. 

The Bulldogs were impressive during their win over Cronulla and will now look to back this up with another strong display against Newcastle. 

The Dogs will have to do without Matt Burton and Viliame Kikau once again though with the star duo remaining on the sidelines.
