The Canberra Raiders approach their Round 17 fixture with the St George Illawarra Dragons with forward Sam Sasagi returning to the lineup. Prop James Young holds his starting spot, maintaining his strong defensive stats. Both clubs have mixed early‑season form, and the contest is slated for Sunday night at Canberra Stadium.
A Canberra winger was troubled after a uneven opening half, limiting his involvement. Raiders will look to build on Sasagi’s return and Young’s steady play. The Dragons must shore up their defence to stay in the contest.
