The Late Mail: Raiders v Roosters

Canberra Raiders v Sydney Roosters

Canberra Raiders v Sydney Roosters

Raiders: Semi Valemei comes into the backline in place of Seb Kris. 

A win will see the Raiders temporarily move ahead of the Sharks into eighth position; a loss would all but end their season barring the Sharks losing by 50+ points and the Titans losing on Sunday.

Roosters: Jared Waerea-Hargreaves is out of the team with Naufahu Whyte joining the bench; Isaac Liu shifts to the front-row with Egan Butcher coming into the starting side.

Siosiua Taukieaho will play his 150th appearance in the NRL.
