Panthers v Broncos preview
2 hours ago | Rhys Sullivan
Fone Zone Canberra Raiders coach Matthew Elliott has promoted Premier League winger Nathan Smith into the first grade lineup for this Saturday's home clash against the North Queensland Cowboys.
Smith comes into the side to replace Phil Graham, who is out for 6 weeks after injuring his ankle last weekend against the Wests Tigers.
The Raiders will be at almost full strength this Saturday, with Joel Monaghan and Ruben Wiki both making their returns to the playing field.
The Cowboys sprung an upset over the Raiders in round 23 last season, their first ever win in Canberra, and the Raiders will be keen to erase the memory of that match and continue their surge towards the top four.
