Canberra star centre Joey Leilua will make an early return from a serious neck injury to take on ladder leaders Melbourne in a highly anticipated top-four NRL clash.
Leilua is the reigning Dally M centre of the year and has been named in the Raiders' starting side for the first time since suffering a bulging disc in round seven.
In what will be his 200th NRL game, Leilua replaces rookie Bailey Simonnson who shifts to the bench as Siliva Havili drops out of the side.
