FINAL 17 CONFIRMED: Raiders Ready for Friday Night Clash with Tigers
The Toyota Forklifts Canberra Raiders have locked in their final 17-man squad to face the Wests Tigers at Campbelltown Sports Stadium on Friday night. Head coach Ricky Stuart has stuck with a largely unchanged lineup, showing faith in the group that delivered a strong performance last round.
Jed Stuart retains his spot in the halves after an impressive debut, once again pairing with veteran Jamal Fogarty. Hudson Young and Elliott Whitehead lead a dynamic second-row, while Joseph Tapine anchors the forward pack with his trademark aggression and work rate.
Xavier Savage returns to fullback, offering speed and creativity from the back, while Sebastian Kris and Albert Hopoate form a powerful centre-wing combination. Jordan Rapana brings experience and toughness to the wing.
On the bench, Tom Starling, Ata Mariota, Trey Mooney, and Emre Guler provide impact and energy, with Stuart hoping for strong contributions in the latter stages of the match.
With the Raiders eyeing a push up the ladder and the Tigers desperate for points, this clash promises fireworks under the Friday night lights. Kick-off is scheduled for 7:55pm, and fans can expect a tough, high-tempo battle between two determined sides.
