Raiders make big changes for 'Miracle in Mudgee' rematch against Panthers
The Penrith Panthers face an injury-stricken Canberra Raiders in a highly anticipated rematch this Sunday.
The Canberra Times
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.

The Gold Coast Titans have confirmed rising star Siale Faeamani will be sidelined following an MCL strain that was sustained against the Canberra Raiders last weekend.
The Tongan winger will miss three to four weeks of action as he recovers from the knee complaint.
Faeamani made his NRL debut in Round 1 against the Cronulla Sharks after an impressive preseason, with coach Josh Hannay rewarding him with a starting spot.
He has become a reliable gun in Hannay's backline, scoring four tries in the eight appearances in the top grade before injury.

Another on the shelf for Raiders as forward faces sideline stint
Canberra Raiders' Joe Roddy has a broken hand, sidelining him for at least a month amid a growing injury list.
Zero Tackle
Canberra Raiders forward Joe Roddy has been added to the club's growing injury list, with a broken hand to sideline him for at least a month.
The second-rower, who debuted at the back-end of last year and has been impressive with each effort in first-grade could miss as many as six weeks with the injury which the Raiders have not confirmed whether he will need surgery for or not.
His loss is immediately offset for this weekend's clash with the Penrith Panthers by the return of New South Wales State of Origin candidate Hudson Young, but the Raiders depth is being tested as the middle of the season approaches.
Noah Martin is currently missing after injuring both ankles in Round 8s game against the Wests Tigers, while Zac Hosking is out indefinitely with concussion-related issues.
