The Raiders have suffered a double blow leading into the race for the finals with experienced forward Sia Soliola and English international Josh Hodgson both suffering injuries in the loss to the North Queensland Cowboys in Round 21.
Soliola will unfortunately miss the rest of the season after fracturing his cheekbone early in the second half, with the rugged back-rower showed tremendous courage to try and play on and inspire his team mates to victory.
Hodgson’s injury isn’t as serious as Soliola’s but the classy hooker will still miss the next 1-2 weeks after injuring his ankle in the 43rd minute against the Cowboys.
In more positive news, Sisa Waqa is recovering well from his minor knee injury and is in line to take the field in Round 23 against the Manly Sea Eagles at GIO Stadium.
