Shock move for Raiders' NRL rookie-of-the-year contender

Ricky Stuart moves Ethan Strange to centres to cover Rapana's absence due to concussion.

The Canberra Times

Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has shifted NRL rookie-of-the-year-contender Ethan Strange to the centres as part of a backline reshuffle to cover the loss of Jordan Rapana.

Rapana's been ruled out of their trip to Townsville to play North Queensland on Saturday due to concussion, after he failed his head injury assessment in the first half of Canberra's loss to Manly last weekend.

With Rapana going into the 11-day stand-down, Sebastian Kris has shifted to the wing with Strange moving from five-eighth to play alongside him at centre.
