The Canberra Raiders gear up for 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, preserving his reliable defence. Both clubs have inconsistent early‑season form, and the match is set for Sunday night at Canberra Stadium.
A Canberra winger was hampered after a shaky first half, restricting his play. Raiders will look to build on Sasagi’s return and Young’s reliability. The Dragons will need to tighten defenses to remain competitive.
