Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart to rest key players for next week's match against Dolphins.
Canberra Raiders head coach Ricky Stuart has revealed he will rest players for next weekend's clash with the Dolphins.
In a move that could have finals ramifications for the bottom of the top eight, the minor premiers will give the players that need it a week off.
Instead, a number of players who are, in his words "banged up and need a rest" will have a breather before preparing for their opening week qualifying final, to be held at GIO Stadium in Canberra against a yet to be confirmed opponent.
News Corp were reporting the Raiders will hand at least six players a rest including Kaeo Weekes.
