The Canberra Raiders have named their team for the round five match against the Parramatta Eels at GIO Stadium Canberra on Sunday evening.

Simi Sasagi will become Raider #395 after he was named to make his debut for the club this weekend. Sasagi will replace Zac Hosking in the 17, after he was ruled out of this week’s match with concussion.

Ata Mariota will start in the second row for Hosking, with Sasagi to start from the bench.

The Raiders have made no further changes to the side, with Albert Hopoate (arm burn) and Elliott Whitehead (Calf) not yet ready to make a return this week.
