The Canberra Raiders gear up for their Round 17 fixture with the St George Illawarra Dragons with forward Sam Sasagi back in the side. 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 hooked after a shaky first half, curbing his impact. Raiders aim to capitalize on Sasagi’s return and Young’s steady play. The Dragons will need to tighten defenses to stay in the contest.
