The Canberra Raiders have named their three State of Origin stars in the starting lineup, for their important clash against the Wests Tigers on Sunday afternoon at Leichardt Oval.
Joel Monaghan, Tom Learoyd-Lahrs and David Shillington will be assessed by coaching staff following Wednesdays origin match, with Raiders Coach David Furner naming an extended bench to cover any possible injuries.
Joe Picker and Travis Waddell have been named 18th and 19th man respectively, with Scott Logan and Adam Mogg moving back to the interchange bench to accommodate the changes.
Justin Carney has also been named in the squad in jumper number 20 and is there in case of injury.
David Milne has retained his place at fullback for the match against the Tigers after an impressive return to NRL footy after a 12 month absence, with Josh Dugan expected to be given an extra week to recover from his knee injury.
Raiders Coach David Furner said the team will have to lift for the tough road trip to Balmain, but said there were still positives to come out of Saturdays loss to the Cowboys.
Its always a tough game against the Tigers at home particularly at Leichhardt but well have some players back on deck which will help us, Furner said. I thought David Milne was excellent in his return to the NRL team and he made something like 272 metres with the ball so thats encouraging.
We also had to make some late changes with the late call up of Joel Monaghan last week so hopefully well be a bit more settled in the preparation this week.
