The Canberra Raiders have named their team for the round 23 match against the Newcastle Knights at McDonald Jones Stadium on Sunday afternoon. 

Joe Tapine has been named to return from a rib injury which sidelined him from last weekend’s match against the Dragons. With Tapine’s inclusion Emre Guler moves back to the interchange bench and Ryan Sutton moves into the extended squad.

Nick Cotric has also been named in the starting side after missing last week’s match through suspension. He replaces Albert Hopoate on the wing with Hopoate moving to 18th man.
