    Knock On Effect NSW Cup

    Canberra's NSW cup side have concluded their two game away stretch to begin the season, going down to the Warriors 44-12 at Go Media Stadium, Auckland.

    The game started off with both teams conceding early errors whilst in possession, before back-to-back set restarts saw Warriors winger, Alofiana Khan-Pereira open the scoring.

    Shortly after the restart, Canberra fullback Ethan Alaia was unable to clean up the ball off the back of infield kick, allowing Warrior's centre Caelys-Paul Putoko to score the second try of the match.

    Canberra faces a setback with Matty Nicholson out for five months and Josh Papali'i sidelined, as they prepare to face the Warriors.

    The Canberra Times

    Canberra's second-row depth has suffered a major blow with emerging star Matty Nicholson ruled out for up to five months with a shoulder injury.

    After sustaining a subluxation in pre-season trials, the 22-year-old reinjured his shoulder in NSW Cup action last Saturday and on Thursday, the Raiders confirmed he would require surgery. 

    It comes after coach Ricky Stuart urged Canberra to turn the dial up as they'll miss veteran enforcer Josh Papali'i due to concussion against the Warriors in Auckland. 

    The most-capped Raider will leave a big hole for the visitors, who face the boisterous atmosphere that the Sydney Roosters struggled to overcome in their 42-18 loss to a dominant Warriors a week ago.

    Canberra Raiders forward Matty Nicholson is set to undergo shoulder reconstruction surgery as soon as possible.

    As reported by the Daily Telegraph, the Englishman has been advised by specialists after multiple consecutive shoulder dislocations to bite the bullet and go under the knife in a bid to stop the injuries from occurring.

    Nicholson dislocated his shoulder partially last weekend in the Raiders' NSW Cup game.

    It was the same injury that occurred against the Sharks in a preseason fixture two weeks ago.
