Raiders rest seven players and debut three amid injuries, preparing for Dolphins match on Sunday.
Seven players rested, three injured, three debutants and a new captain worthy of one of the stories of the year.
That's the situation for minor premiers the Raiders, who will name a new-look line-up to tackle the Dolphins on Sunday.
With a concern for the length of recovery time the Raiders will receive should they be scheduled to host their first finals match next Saturday, coach Ricky Stuart has pulled the pin on influential figures including Jamal Fogarty, Joe Tapine, Josh Papalii and Hudson Young.
They are among seven players rested, while Ethan Strange (neck), Keao Weekes (calf) and Simi Sasagi (leg) have been ruled out due to injury.
