The big job of covering the absence of Canberra Raiders enforcer Josh Papali'i has fallen to Pasami Saulo and Ata Mariota.
Mariota comes onto the bench, while Saulo takes Papali'i's starting spot to face the Gold Coast Titans at Canberra Stadium on Saturday.

The team and fans alike will undoubtedly miss his presence on the field during this time.
