Raiders name
squad to take on the Sea Eagles

The Canberra Raiders will have all hands on deck for this Saturday night?s final round match against the Manly Sea Eagles at Canberra Stadium.

Raiders coach Matt Elliott has named all 18 of his available players, veteran Jason Croker and rookie winger David Milne the only additions to the Raiders starting team.

The Raiders are hopeful Croker can return from a knee injury which kept him out of last Sunday?s match against the Parramatta Eels.

A former NSW Under 19s and Australian Junior Kangaroos representative, Milne, 19, will start on the wing. Regular winger Matt Gafa switches to the centres in place of the injured Phil Graham (ankle).

Out of finals contention, the Raiders will be motivated to farewell teammates Ian Hindmarsh and Ben Cross with a victory on Saturday night.

Hindmarsh leaves for new British Super League club, Les Catalans, in mid-October, while Cross is bound for the Melbourne Storm. Both players have spent three NRL seasons with the Raiders.

?[Coach] Matt Elliott spoke to all the players early in the week and we really want to finish with a win,? Hindmarsh said. ?That?s what we?re all working together to achieve. We want to finish on a positive.?
