The Canberra Raiders have named their squad for Saturday’s match against the Warriors at GIO Stadium.
With the Raiders securing a top four position last weekend with a win over the Sharks, Coach Ricky Stuart has used the match to rest several of his players.
Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, Jordan Rapana, Sia Soliola and John Bateman will all be given the week off, which sees several positional changes for Saturday.
Bailey Simonsson will start at fullback for Nicoll-Klokstad, with Michael Oldfield returning to the team on the wing. Sebastian Kris replaces Jordan Rapana who has been named in the extended squad.
Dunamis Lui will start the match in the front row for Sia Soliola, with Emre Guler named on the bench. Hudson Young will also start for John Bateman, which sees JJ Collins given an opportunity from the bench.
Joe Tapine has been named on an extended bench but will only play if he fully recovers from a rib injury.
