The Canberra Raiders have named their squad for Saturday night’s match against the Melbourne Storm at GIO Stadium.
With Josh Papalii, Josh Hodgson and Jack Wighton all suspended this week, there have been several changes to the team to take on the Storm.
Sam Williams plays his first NRL match of the season and replaces the suspended Jack Wighton at five-eighth, while Dunamis Lui will start the match at prop for the suspended Josh Papalii.
Brad Schneider will become Raider #376, after he was named on the bench this week. Schneider replaces Josh Hodgson in the bench utility role.
Ryan Sutton has been named to make his return from the bench from an elbow injury, with Sia Soliola named on the extended bench after recovering from a knee injury.
Jordan Rapana (Hamstring) and Joe Tapine (Knee) are expected to miss a further 1-2 matches.
