The Canberra Times

They've been to Las Vegas and back, but the Canberra Raiders' unprecedented travel schedule over the opening 13 NRL rounds has only just begun.

The Green Machine have revealed their secret weapon in combatting 20,000 kilometres and almost 50 hours of travel over the next 11 weeks.

Raiders prop Corey Horsburgh is looking to use that time on the road to press his State of Origin cause and continue his stunning start to the season.

Savelio Tamale has been rewarded for his red hot form at the Canberra Raiders, cementing his spot on the wing even as Xavier Savage returns from suspension.

The Raiders made two changes to their side ahead of an away game against the Manly Sea Eagles on Sunday.

Savage is back on deck having served a one-game ban for a dangerous contact in Vegas, while young prop Trey Mooney was greenlit for a bench role with forwards Joe Tapine still suspended and Zac Hosking out for up to six weeks (broken hand).

Luckless Canberra Raiders forward Zac Hosking has been ruled out for up to six weeks after having surgery to repair a broken bone in his hand.

In a blow to the Raiders' perfect start to the season and Hosking's hopes of putting his injury woes in the rearview mirror, the versatile back-rower has been sidelined again and will be missing for at least the next month.

The 28-year-old has been plagued by injuries since joining the Raiders last year. He played only 10 games in his debut season for the club before his year ended prematurely, needing shoulder surgery.
