Canberra Raiders welcome back Joel Edwards for Storm NRL clash

The Canberra Raiders will welcome back second rower Joel Edwards from concussion in the only team change for the Easter Sunday home clash with Melbourne.

Edwards sat out last week's loss to Newcastle after suffering back-to-back head knocks in the previous two matches, and replaces Jarrad Kennedy.

The 25-year-old's inclusion is a big boost for the Raiders, who are looking to snap a record six-game home losing streak against the Storm.

Canberra [2-4] desperately needs to win after losing its past two games against Penrith and the Knights.

Meanwhile, Melbourne is likely to be without centre Will Chambers after he was cited for a shoulder charge by the judiciary on Dragons fullback Josh Dugan in Monday night's win at AAMI Park.

Chambers can accept a two match ban if he takes the early plea, but will risk three weeks if he fights the charge and loses.
