Canberra Raiders' captain returns, State of Origin star on bench for Warriors match.
The Canberra Raiders are boosted by the return of their captain, but there wasn't room for a State of Origin star in their bench reshuffle.
Despite starring in the Raiders' emphatic 32-12 victory over Wests Tigers on Saturday, Zac Hosking drops to the bench for their testing clash against the New Zealand Warriors in Christchurch on Friday night.
Raiders coach Ricky Stuart named captain Elliott Whitehead (calf) for his first game of the season on Tuesday, forcing star recruit Hosking to shift from the second row to the bench.
