The Canberra Raiders head into their Round 17 fixture with the St George Illawarra Dragons with forward Sam Sasagi returning to the lineup. Prop James Young continues as a starter, preserving his reliable defence. Both clubs have varied early‑season form, and the game is scheduled for Sunday night at Canberra Stadium.
A Canberra winger was hooked after a shaky first half, restricting his play. Raiders aim to capitalize on Sasagi’s return and Young’s consistency. The Dragons must shore up their defence to keep pace in the game.
