NSW Cup & Jersey Flegg Team Lists: Round 17
The Canberra Raiders have named their squads for Round 17 of the NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg Cup as both teams look to bounce back from narrow defeats in Round 16.
In the NSW Cup, the Raiders face the Newtown Jets in what promises to be a hard-fought clash. The team sees the return of Brad Morkos in the centres, while Trey Mooney continues to lead from the front in the forward pack. Ethan Strange will again steer the side around from halfback, with Danny Levi providing spark out of dummy half.
Meanwhile, in the Jersey Flegg Cup, the Raiders take on the Cronulla Sharks. Coach Ash Barnes has named a largely unchanged side, with young guns Owen Pattie and Jed Stuart retaining their starting spots after strong performances last week. Fullback Chevy Stewart remains a key threat with his elusive running game and ability to create opportunities from the back.
Both teams are eager to return to the winners’ circle as finals approach, with this round shaping up as crucial in the run home. Fans can catch the action live at Raiders Belconnen this Saturday, with Jersey Flegg kicking off at 1:00pm followed by the NSW Cup at 3:00pm.
