Canberra Raiders debut Chevy Stewart in place of injured Jordan Rapana against Gold Coast.
The Canberra Raiders are set to give an NRL debut to teenage fullback Chevy Stewart for Sunday's clash against the Gold Coast Titans, after Jordan Rapana pre-aggravated a knee injury.
Stewart is only 18 years old but had a spectacular rise through the grades in Canberra last season to put him on the cusp of NRL selection in 2024. In the trials Stewart continued to impress and certainly didn't look out of place in his first taste of senior footy too.
But after Rapana had scans on Monday for a meniscus issue in his right knee and was ruled out of this weekend's home game, Stewart has now been greenlit to make his NRL debut.
