Williams and Dugan back for Raiders

Williams and Dugan back for Raiders Updated: 18:08, Tuesday September 4, 2012 Injured duo Josh Dugan and Sam Williams  are set to make timely returns when Canberra face Cronulla in  Sunday's second NRL elimination final at Canberra Stadium.

The pair missed out on the Raiders' 42-22 defeat of New Zealand  with respective ankle and shoulder injuries, but coach David Furner  believes they'll both be right in time for finals action.

"They're both back to full squad training tomorrow," Furner said  on Tuesday.

"There's certainly a couple of tests we need to go through, but  I'm reasonably confident that they will (be OK).

"Thursday will be the day we'll know definitely."

Furner has named an extended 20-man squad for Sunday's match,  with Shaun Berrigan again up for the halfback role should Williams'  shoulder not hold up through the week.

Reece Robinson has been moved back to the wing, but ably proved  his worth at fullback with two second-half tries against the  Warriors.

Raiders: Josh Dugan, Sandor Earl, Jarrod Croker, Blake Ferguson,  Reece Robinson, Josh McCrone, Sam Williams, David Shillington  (capt), Glen Buttriss, Dane Tilse Josh Papalii, Joel Thompson,  Shaun Fensom. Interchange: Shaun Berrigan, Joe Picker, Mark  Nicholls, Tom Learoyd-Lahrs, Jarrad Kennedy, Travis Waddell,  Dimitri Pelo (three to be omitted).
