The Toyota Forklifts Canberra Raiders have named their side for the Round 17 match against the Newcastle Knights on Friday night at McDonald Jones Stadium.
Hudson Young will not play against the Knights, with the decision made to rest him for this fixture. Young has been managing an ongoing groin issue, and it has been decided that it's best to manage his workload during what has been a demanding period for him with both club football and State of Origin commitments.
Simi Sasagi has been named to start in place of Young, with Noah Martin coming onto the bench for his second NRL match.
Corey Horsburgh will play his 100th match for the club.
