Currently in eighth position on the ladder, it has been a see-sawing season so far for the Raiders, who have won six matches and lost seven so far.

Xavier Savage returns to the side on the wing, with Jordan Martin also returning on the bench.

The Roosters are currently in 12th spot on the ladder and are coming off a strong 36-12 win over the Knights last round.

Jersey Flegg

The Raiders Jersey Flegg side also take on the Roosters in their round 17 clash, hoping to bounce back from last week's loss.

Despite having an early lead, the Raiders went down to the Dragons 30-20 in last week's match.

There have been a few changes made to the side ahead of this week's round 17 clash.

Keahn Skipps has been named at fullback, with Jaxon Lavender and Prinston Esera coming into the centres.

Jake Clydsdale has been given the nod at starting prop and Delahia Wigmore into the second row. Tane Kiriona and Tahrell Feaveai are the new faces on the bench.

The Raiders face a tough assignment against the ladder-leading Roosters, who are sitting two points clear from the second placed Bulldogs.

The Roosters are coming off the back of a dominant 40-16 win over the Rabbitohs last round.

Kick off is at 1:15pm on Sunday at Wentworth Park in Sydney.
