Raiders optimistic for finals with key players back, Warriors face injuries ahead of match.
The Raiders are upbeat about their finals chances as the team welcomes back key players to possibly boast their strongest spine of the year in Friday night's showdown against the Warriors.
Desperate to end a four-game losing streak in round 20 at Canberra Stadium, the return of experienced halfback Jamal Fogarty, second-rower Zac Hosking and centre Sebastian Kris couldn't come at a better time.
The Warriors meanwhile have had to rule out captain Tohu Harris for the rest of the season to have surgery on a chronic wrist injury. Former Raiders fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad (calf) and winger Marcelo Montoya (groin) are also sidelined.
