It was a try fest for the Raiders as both Jalen Afamasaga and Tim Carson contributed doubles in what was a terrific all-round performance from the team.
Coach Jordan Macey has been forced to make one change to the side with the Skipper Keahn Skipps out, Trae Bennetto switches with him at halfback.
On the other hand, the Bulldogs defeated the Rabbitohs 34-30, which saw them hold their spot at sixth on the ladder.
The Green Machine will be aiming to keep their spot at the top of the ladder, while the Bulldogs will be looking for an ambush to further push themselves towards the top four.
