The Canberra Raiders have named their squad for Saturday afternoons match against the North Queensland Cowboys at GIO Stadium.
Joe Tapine has been named on the bench and will make his return from an ankle injury, with the New Zealand International set to play his first match since his injury against the Eels in round five. Tapine was initially expected to be missing for another month, but his ankle has responded well to treatment and he has recovered ahead of schedule.
Tapine’s inclusion sees Seb Kris drop out of the 17 after making his NRL debut last weekend, and he joins Aidan Sezer, Emre Guler and Royce Hunt in the extended squad.
In some unfortunate news, Brad Abbey has suffered an ACL injury to his left knee and will miss the remainder of the season.
