Matt Timoko returns from injury to play for the Raiders against the Warriors after missing round one of the NRL season.

The Canberra Times

Starting the year in a moonboot was not how Matt Timoko and the Canberra Raiders would have wanted to kick-off the 2026 season.

But after missing round one, now he's ready to make his NRL return in a special Auckland homecoming against the Warriors on Friday night.

"He's confident and ready to go. I get that feeling about him," Raiders teammate and fellow Kiwi international Sebastian Kris told The Canberra Times.

"His previous injury is coming up good and we'll look to slot him in this Friday night."
