Fox League

The Raiders will host the red-hot Cronulla Sharks at Canberra's GIO Stadium for their Round 8 clash on Sunday afternoon.

The hosts will be without halfback Jamal Fogarty, who suffered a bicep injury against the Broncos last weekend, while Sharks have been boosted by the return of winger Sione Katoa, who missed last week's match against the Cowboys due to suspension.

Cronulla, who have only suffered one defeat this season, will clinch top spot on the NRL ladder if they topple the Raiders this weekend.

Kick-off is scheduled for 4.05pm AEST.
