LIVE NRL: Key forwards ruled out as Ricky’s Raiders host Hynes-led Sharks in key clash

The Sharks and Raiders face off, missing key forwards, as both teams aim to rebound from recent performances.

Fox League

The Cronulla Sharks head to the nation's capital in an attempt to get their season back on track, while the Raiders are looking to make up for their disappointing showing last week.

However, both sides will be without key forwards with Briton Nikora (Sharks) and Josh Papalii (Raiders) ruled out of the clash, meaning there have been changes to each side's forward pack.

For the Raiders, English international Morgan Smithies will start in the front-row while Joe Roddy has been added to the extended bench having made his NRL debut last season.

And for the Sharks, Teig Wilton returns to the starting side with duo Hohepa Puru and Tuku Hau Tapuha listed among the reserves and potential interchange options for Craig Fitzgibbon.
