The Canberra Raiders have announced their team for the round 16 match against the Wests Tigers at Campbelltown Stadium.
Notably, Jed Stuart is set to make his NRL debut as Raider #404, taking the place of Savelio Tamale, who will be sidelined with a knee injury sustained in round 14 against South Sydney.
Additionally, Hudson Young and Corey Horsburgh are included in the squad, returning after the State of Origin II in Perth.
Sebastian Kris will celebrate his milestone 100th match with the Raiders.
In 2025, the Wests Tigers face crucial matches, needing wins to avoid falling further in rankings.
In the 2025 NRL season, the Wests Tigers find themselves in a precarious position, currently sitting just one win above the last-placed Titans and only a win outside the top eight.
Despite the recent additions of Jarome Luai, Sunia Turuva, and Terrell May, which have made the Tigers more competitive, they face a crucial match against the high-flying Raiders.
A loss could put the Tigers in a vulnerable spot, especially with three challenging away games against the Sea Eagles, Roosters, and Warriors looming.
On the other hand, the Raiders come off their first bye of the season and are well-positioned to solidify their place in the top four.
