Learoyd-Lahrs and Monaghan included for Raiders
Tuesday, June 16, 2009
The CFMEU Canberra Raiders have named NSW Shadow players Tom Learoyd-Lahrs and Joel Monaghan in their side for Sunday afternoons match against Manly at Brookvale Oval, pending fitness tests to other NSW players this week.
In a boost for the Raiders as a club, both Learoyd-Lahrs and Monaghan have joined the Blues in camp for game two in Sydney, while Raiders five-eighth Terry Campese has missed selection for the match following the recall of Trent Barrett to the side.
Raiders Coach David Furner has included prop David Shillington in an 18 man squad for Sundays match and will reassess the team line-up later in the week once a decision is made at NSW level.
Furner said the team is desperate to get a win against the Sea Eagles on Sunday afternoon, after letting the game slip away from them against the Sharks in Canberra last weekend.
We should have won the match against the Sharks and as a group we have to learn how to stay in the contest for the full 80 minutes, Furner said. We get another opportunity this weekend against Manly and we will have to be on top of our game if we are to get the two points.
Despite leading the game 20-10 at one stage last weekend the Raiders allowed Cronulla back into the game through some costly errors, however Furner said he has so far resisted the urge to make wholesale changes.
Weve gone with the same side as last week and as I mentioned well have to wait for a decision at NSW level before we can change too much, he said. Even if we get Tommy and Joel back we may look at mixing things up later in the week, well just have to wait and see.
