The Canberra Raiders head into their Round 17 clash with the St George Illawarra Dragons with forward Sam Sasagi rejoining the squad. Prop James Young remains a starter, keeping his solid defensive record. Both clubs have inconsistent early‑season form, and the match is set for Sunday night at Canberra Stadium.
A Canberra winger was troubled after a shaky first half, curbing his impact. Raiders aim to capitalize on Sasagi’s return and Young’s steady play. The Dragons have to tighten their backline to remain competitive.
