We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
In a recent update on raiders.com.au, the Canberra Raiders have announced their final team lineup for the highly anticipated match against the Bulldogs at GIO Stadium Canberra this afternoon.
Emre Guler has been given the opportunity to start, resulting in Josh Papalii being moved to the bench for this game.
The team management seems to be experimenting with their squad to find the winning formula.
The Raiders desperately need to win this home game against the struggling Bulldogs after Ricky Stuart's men were embarrassed by the Storm last week.
Canterbury coach Cameron Ciraldo has moved Raymond Faitala-Mariner into the starting side with Ryan Sutton no longer named as Harrison Edwards joins the bench.
But they'll have to do it without star No. 6 Jack Wighton who was scratched on Saturday due to a minor hamstring strain, with Matt Frawley coming into the halves.
Canberra's favourite son Jarrod Croker returns from a hamstring injury in the centres, while James Schiller will play his third game of the season, joining the bench along with Tom Starling.
The Melbourne Storm's head coach, Craig Bellamy, has made his final selection for the upcoming match against the Dragons at WIN Stadium in Round 25, as reported by melbournestorm.com.au.
One notable change in the starting side is the return of Will Warbrick, who missed the previous week's victory over the Raiders due to neck soreness.
This shift sees Reimis Smith taking on the 18th man duties, while Alec MacDonald has been dropped from the gameday squad altogether.
