Raiders unchanged for Titans
Tuesday, June 30, 2009
The CFMEU Canberra Raiders have named an unchanged line-up, for Sundays important clash against the Gold Coast Titans at Canberra Stadium.
The Green Machine posted their best win of the season on Sunday as they downed competition heavyweight the Melbourne Storm by 26-16 at Canberra Stadium and will be looking to back up the effort with a win against another top side in the Titans.
Raiders Coach David Furner said he thought his forward pack laid a solid foundation against the Storm and hoped their form would continue this weekend.
I think our forwards have been a real strength for us all year and I thought the way they started against the Storm got us on the front foot early, Furner said. Im hoping this continues again on Sunday and we can get off to a strong start against the Titans as well.
Raiders fullback Josh Dugan made a sensational return to the NRL side Sunday and was a star performer in the teams big win, while Joel Monaghan also silenced his critics with a stunning two try performance.
Furner said the Raiders would concentrate on maintaining their form from last weekend and try and shut down the Titans in a similar fashion to what they did against Melbourne.
The Titans have some good individual players and we will have to be careful of what they can provide, he said. I think their forwards have been strong this season too so its shaping up to be a good contest up front.

No surprises here. Would love to see Joel Thompson or Waddell (or both) on the bench though.
