The defending premiers are eager to keep the momentum rolling as they prepare to take on the Bulldogs at Allianz Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
John Strange's side has made an undefeated start to the season and sent a statement with a four-point win over the Broncos in Brisbane last week.
Reigning Dally M Medallist Olivia Kernick has continued to stamp her claim as one of the game's elite players while veteran Corban Baxter has made an impressive return after missing all of last year with a knee injury.
Canterbury have turned plenty of heads in their inaugural NRLW campaign but they experienced their first hiccup last weekend.
The Bulldogs conceded a last-minute try to fall to the Dragons, their first loss of the season.
Now, they get a chance to stamp their claim as a genuine premiership contender and halfback Tayla Preston will look to steer her side to a statement victory.
