The Canberra Raiders NYC team has been forced to make a change through injury for their elimination final against the Wests Tigers on Friday afternoon, with Jeremy Hawkins ruled out with a hamstring problem.
With Hawkins unavailable, Brenko Lee will move into the starting centre spot for the Raiders, with Jared McIlwrick added to the bench.
Due to the short turnaround from Sunday’s match Coach Mick Mantelli has named an extended bench for the final, with Jack Creith, Matthew Frawley, Jake Rumsby and Josh Baker all added to the squad to cover any further withdrawals.
