Price to check fitness, Woolford
appeal tonight

New Zealand Warriors prop Steve Price will undergo a fitness test today to determine his availability for Saturday's NRL clash with Canberra in Auckland. Price has been sidelined for the past eight weeks with a knee injury.

The ninth-placed Raiders have 22 points on the NRL table ? four clear of the Warriors.

Meanwhile, NRL judiciary chairman Greg Woods will hear verbal submissions from Canberra and the league tomorrow night before deciding whether to grant the Raiders leave to appeal captain Simon Woolford's eight-match suspension.

The Raiders are seeking to have Woolford's dangerous throw charge reduced from a grade two to a grade one offence.
