The Canberra Raiders approach their Round 17 clash with the St George Illawarra Dragons with forward Sam Sasagi rejoining the squad. Prop James Young remains a starter, keeping his solid defensive record. Both clubs have mixed early‑season form, and the contest is slated for Sunday night at Canberra Stadium.
A Canberra winger was hooked after a uneven opening half, limiting his involvement. Raiders plan to leverage Sasagi’s return and Young’s consistency. The Dragons have to tighten their backline to remain competitive.
