The Penrith Panthers face an injury-stricken Canberra Raiders in a highly anticipated rematch this Sunday.
The "Miracle of Mudgee" was one of the games of the season last year, and this Sunday the Penrith Panthers come to Bruce for a highly anticipated rematch against the injury-hit Canberra Raiders.
The Raiders had another squad shake-up for the weekend clash as another name was added to the injury list after their win over the Gold Coast Titans in round nine, while two big names returned.
Promising back-rower Joe Roddy has been ruled out for four to six weeks with a broken hand that required surgery on Tuesday. He now joins Raiders Josh Papali'i (calf), Noah Martin (ankles), and Zac Hosking (concussion) on the sidelines in rehab mode.
Hosking was still not quite right after his concussion a fortnight ago, but the Raiders are aiming to get him reassessed to possibly return for round 12's match against the Dolphins, following the bye next week.
