The Canberra Raiders have named their squad for Friday night’s match against the Wests Tigers at Bankwest Stadium.
Nick Cotric, Josh Papalii, and Jack Wighton have all been named in the starting side and will be assessed by club medical staff following State of Origin one to see if they are fit to back-up for Friday’s match.
The inclusion of the trio sees Aidan Sezer and Seb Kris drop out of the starting team onto the extended bench, while Papalii replaces the injured Corey Horsburgh.
Jordan Rapana has also been named to make his return in what will be his 100th NRL match for the club, with Michael Oldfield dropping out of the starting side and onto the extended bench.
Emre Guler has been named on the bench for Hudson Young, who will miss the next five matches with suspension.
