Brett Morris has been training at fullback for Canterbury as the Bulldogs plan for a possible finals match without Will Hopoate.

Hopoate's religious beliefs stop him from playing on Sundays, and unless Canterbury can secure a top-four berth, they look likely to play on a Sunday during the first week of the NRL finals.

Morris starred at fullback for the Bulldogs last year and is ready to move there from the wing again if he is needed.

"I have played a lot of football there, it is not an issue for me," Morris said on Monday.
