Reverse hoodoo in the nation's capital - the Raiders haven't beaten the Dragons now since 2013 after the Red V broke their own curse in 2014. Canberra are 1-17 while the Dragons have a host of changes including both Josh Dugan and Paul Vaughan, although there is a question mark over the shifting to the bench of Jack de Belin.
