The Bulldogs have made several changes to their side for this Saturday's (3:00PM AEST) clash with the Raiders in Magic Round in Brisbane.
Dylan Napa has failed a fitness test which sees Ava Seumanufagai return to the starting line-up for the second week running. Napa's withdrawal has opened the door for Ofahiki Ogden to clinch a bench spot, with Joe Stimson being named as the 18th man and Aaron Schoupp dropping out of the match day squad.
Brandon Wakeham will come in for his first start of the season in the halves alongside Jake Averillo.
Renouf Atoni will lock into the back of the scrum, with Corey Waddell to come off the bench alongside Brad Deitz and Matt Doorey.
In addition, Nick Meaney will replace Corey Allan in the centres, while Tui Katoa will return on the wing.
