Canberra Raiders announce Round 17 team; Hudson Young rested, Simi Sasagi starts, Corey Horsburgh's 100th match.
The Canberra Raiders have announced their team for the Round 17 clash against the Newcastle Knights, scheduled for Friday night at McDonald Jones Stadium.
Key player Hudson Young will not be participating as he is being rested due to an ongoing groin issue, following a demanding period juggling club football and State of Origin duties.
As a result, Simi Sasagi will start in Young's place, with Noah Martin joining the bench for his second NRL match.
Additionally, Corey Horsburgh is set to play his 100th match for the club.
