Canberra Raiders struggle with leads but manage win, gaining key players back from injury.
Sitting in eighth spot, the Canberra Raiders have just two wins this season though they could have had a lot more had they not thrown away as many leads as they have this season having started fast then wilting against their opposition who go straight past them.
Last week though, the Raiders mid-game fade didn't fully come back to bite them as they had a 38-34 victory over the Dragons. The Green Machine had a 16-4 lead before falling 28-16 behind as the game continued to see-saw before ultimately the Raiders took the victory.
The Raiders who have been struck by injuries get a number of key players back including Simaima Taufa, Hollie-Mae Dodd and Mackenzie Wiki all returning to the side. Taufa returns at lock, Dodd returns from suspension to the second row and Wiki into the centres. The three returning players see Chante Temara return to hooker and Felice Quinlan going to the bench.
