The Canberra Raiders gear up for their Round 17 clash with the St George Illawarra Dragons with forward Sam Sasagi rejoining the squad. Prop James Young holds his starting spot, keeping his solid defensive record. Both clubs have mixed early‑season form, and the contest is slated for Sunday night at Canberra Stadium.
A Canberra winger was hampered after a uneven opening 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.
