Raiders unchanged for Eels The Raiders have named an unchanged team for their round 19 home match against the Parramatta Eels at Canberra Stadium, with Coach David Furner naming the same side which defeated the North Queensland Cowboys 26-18 in round 17.
Fresh from a bye the Raiders will be ready to hit the ground running on Saturday afternoon in Canberra, with boom rookie Anthony Milford retaining his place at fullback for the Raiders.
The shift of Milford to fullback allows the Raiders to have some consistency in the halves, with Josh McCrone and Terry Campese remaining at halfback and five-eighth.
Queensland representative Josh Papalii has been named to start the match and will return to training later in the week after the Origin decider on Wednesday night.
Brett White will resume training this week after missing the past two matches with a fractured eye-socket, but he is only an outside chance to be a late inclusion for Saturday night.
Jack Wighton has been ruled out with a groin injury and is yet to resume any form of running.
