The Raiders face the Dolphins, both missing key players due to State of Origin and injuries, complicating predictions for the match.

The Canberra Times

The Raiders take on the in-form Dolphins with both sides losing star players through State of Origin selection.

The visitors are chasing their club's first-ever fourth-straight NRL victory, but in Canberra they'll be without Maroons Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, Selwyn Cobbo, Thomas Flegler and Max Plath. And centre Herbie Farnworth and five-eighth Kodi Nikorima are also ruled out with hamstring injuries.

Meanwhile, the Raiders have to move back into the winner's circle without Blues back-rower Hudson Young and Origin debutant five-eighth Ethan Strange, though Xavier Savage returns on the wing after recovering from an ankle injury.

The Origin and injuries impacts forced a reshuffle for each NRL squad, and a debut for 20-year-old Raiders forward Jordan Uta, making this a hard one to predict a winner.
