Injury Update: Soliola available for selection

Canberra Raiders forward Sia Soliola will be available for selection this weekend after he was given the all-clear to return from facial fractures. 

Raiders Coach Ricky Stuart said after the match on Saturday that he would look to get some game time for Sia this weekend. 

Josh Papalii made a successful recovery from a shoulder injury and was given a much-deserved break in the second half against the Dragons. He has had no further issues with the shoulder. 

Curtis Scott will be assessed this week to see where he is with his leg injury after he trained last week with the rehab group. 

The news is not as good for Emre Guler (Ankle) and Corey Horsburgh (Foot), with Stuart declaring them longshots to play again this season.
