The Canberra Raiders have announced their final 17 players for the match against the Sydney Roosters at Allianz Stadium.
Notably, Ethan Sanders will make his club debut in the halves, stepping in for Jamal Fogarty, who has been ruled out prior to kickoff.
Danny Levi is set to start the game, with Owen Pattie coming off the bench.
Owen Pattie's journey from Monto to NRL debut exemplifies determination and self-belief, aimed at success.
Owen Pattie's journey from country Queensland to becoming a Canberra Raiders NRL player has been both rapid and driven by self-belief.
After making his debut in Round 1 in Las Vegas, the young dummy half has impressively not missed a game and is set to start for the first time against the Roosters due to Tom Starling's suspension.
At just 18, Pattie hails from the small town of Monto and recently graduated from St Brendan's College in Yeppoon, a recognized rugby league nursery.
He took a significant risk by moving approximately 1400km to Canberra to pursue his aspiration of playing in the NRL and ultimately representing the Queensland Maroons.
The Canberra Raiders face the Sydney Roosters this Sunday after recent defeats in their respective leagues.

To enhance their performance, they have adjusted their forward pack: Mitchell Prest and Vena Patuki-Case are moving from the bench to prop positions, and Jordan Martin is shifting to lock.
In contrast, the Roosters are coming off a heavy loss to the Jets, suffering a 54-0 defeat last week.
