The Canberra Raiders have named their squad for their round eight match against the St George-Illawarra Dragons at GIO Stadium on Friday night.

Joe Tapine has been named at lock to make his return to the team for Friday night after recovering from a knee injury, replacing Corey Horsburgh, who will miss at least 12 weeks after undergoing foot surgery today for a Lisfranc injury.

Jordan Rapana has been ruled out for the match with a minor calf injury, which sees Bailey Simonsson starting the match on the wing. Michael Oldfield also returns to the side in the centres for Curtis Scott, who has shifted back to the bench.

Friday’s match will be the first at GIO Stadium since round one.
