NRL pre-season challenge: Week 2 Team Lists
'I'm confident in myself': Young Raider backs himself for crucial role
Kaeo Weekes has backed himself to wear the Canberra Raiders No.6 jersey this season.
But he knows it will be up to his performance in the Raiders' final pre-season trial and who coach Ricky Stuart wants to go with.
Weekes and Ethan Strange have been locked in a pre-season-long battle to be the Green Machine's five-eighth this year, with Weekes laying down a strong marker in Canberra's trial win over Parramatta last weekend.
'There is no reason why he shouldn't be able to go back': Cardiologist backs Raiders' return with defibrillator
A leading Canberra cardiologist has backed Corey Harawira-Naera to return to the NRL, despite concerns about playing a contact sport with a defibrillator inserted under his skin.
ANU Associate Professor Rajeev Pathak said Harawira-Naera's underlying heart condition would be the main concern, rather than having a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
The cardiologist at Canberra Heart Rhythm Centre didn't know exactly what the Raiders second-rower's heart condition was, but he knew the device he'd had inserted in his chest intimately.
