The Canberra Times

Canberra's injured players have returned ahead of schedule to be a part of the Raiders' biggest regular-season home game in more than a decade with skipper Jarrod Croker playing his 300th NRL match.

Second-rower Elliott Whitehead and fullback Sebastian Kris were named to return from injuries earlier than expected for Friday's clash against the NZ Warriors.

It's going to be a bumper night at GIO Stadium with more than 20,000 tickets already sold and a chance to pack in more than 21,000 fans for the biggest regular-season game since 2006.
