AAP writes: Both sides come into the game on the back of excellent wins. The Knights put a star-studded North Queensland side to the sword on Monday and the Raiders recorded their annual win over St George Illawarra.
Darius Boyd, Jarrod Mullen, Akuila Uate and young Tyrone Roberts were all impressive against the Cowboys. Raiders fullback Reece Robinson continues to shine, showing the attitude, commitment and hard work often neglected by his predecessor in the No.1 jumper, Josh Dugan.
Key: Boyd is getting back to his best form after a mediocre first season with the Knights. The Raiders have the talent to keep him quiet, but execution so often lets them down.
KNIGHTS: Darius Boyd, James McManus, Anthony Quinn, Alex McKinnon, Akuila Uate, Jarrod Mullen, Tyrone Roberts, Kade Snowden, Danny Buderus, David Fa'alogo, Robbie Rochow, Chris Houston (capt), Jeremy Smith. Interchange: Timana Tahu, Neville Costigan, Adam Cuthbertson, Korbin Sims.
RAIDERS: Reece Robinson, Sandor Earl, Jarrod Croker, Blake Ferguson, Jack Wighton, Josh McCrone (capt), Sam Williams, David Shillington (capt), Glen Buttriss, Brett White, Josh Papalii, Joel Edwards, Shaun Fensom. Interchange: Shaun Berrigan, Joe Picker, Dane Tilse, Tom Learoyd-Lahrs, Matt McIlwrick (one to be omitted).
