The Late Mail: Raiders v Knights

Canberra Raiders v Newcastle Knights

Canberra Raiders v Newcastle Knights

Coming off their loss to the Panthers, which has almost ended the Raiders finals hopes, the home side are 1-17. Michael Oldfield and Jeff Lima are the two that come off the bench. 

Now for the visitors, there is a host of changes! The Knights have Peter Mata'utia coming into the centres while Jamie Buhrer takes the starting hooker role from Danny Levi. In the pack, Mickey Paea is promoted to starting prop, Joe Wardle to second row which means Josh King joins Levi on the bench.
