Canberra Raiders Team Lists

The Toyota Forklift Raiders have named their squad for the round ten match against the Bulldogs at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night in the NRL’s Magic Round.  

Xavier Savage has been named on the wing for what will be his first NRL match of the season, after two weeks playing for the Raiders NSW Cup side. Savage missed the first seven rounds of the season with a fractured jaw he sustained in the Raiders first trial match in February. 

Savage replaces Albert Hopoate, who will miss the match to attend his sister’s wedding on Friday.

The only other change for the Raiders comes on the bench with Ata Mariota back into the side after returning through NSW Cup last week following a broken hand. He replaces Corey Harawira-Naera who has been named on the extended bench.

The team lists for this weekend's The Knock on Effect NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg round nine matches have been released.

Both teams are in action at McDonalds Park in Wagga Wagga as part of a triple header on Saturday along with the NRL team. 

The Flegg and Cup teams will be taking on the South Sydney Rabbitohs at 11am and 12:40pm respectively.

Rapana’s inclusion is the only change to the 17 who defeated the Dragons in round 7.
