The Raiders will be without their head coach and best player for their must-win clash with the Dragons at GIO Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Ricky Stuart will be unavailable to coach after copping a one match suspension and $25,000 fine for calling Panthers five-eighth Jaeman Salmon a “weak-gutted dog” following the Raiders’ 26-6 loss to Penrith last weekend.
Canberra will also be missing star forward Joe Tapine who has been ruled out after suffering a rib injury against Penrith.
