The Raiders will welcome back workhorse lock Shaun Fensom for their round eight match against the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Barlow Park in Cairns this Sunday as part of the ANZAC weekend matches.
Fensom will start the match at lock, which sees Paul Vaughan move into the starting front row for Dane Tilse, who played his last match for the club in last weekend’s win against the Tigers.
Mark Nicholls also comes onto the interchange bench for the weekend’s match, with Luke Bateman moving back into the Raiders NYC team.
The Raiders will take 19 players to Cairns, with both Kyle O’Donnell and Jeremy Hawkins named on an extended bench.
