The Raiders have named their NYC team for their round sixteen match against the New Zealand Warriors on Saturday at Mount Smart Stadium.
There have been a number of changes to the side with injury ruling out Lachlan Croker, Thomas Cronan and Jordan Aiono, but the team will be boosted by the return of inspirational Captain Luke Bateman who returns after a one game suspension.
Bateman will play lock this weekend, with Tevita Pangai Junior moving to the front row. Lachlan Hurst comes back into the side on the wing, with Jack Hickson shifting to halfback for the injured Croker.
Cleveland McGhie has also been named on the wing this weekend, with Coach Mick Mantelli naming an extended bench for the match against the Warriors.
