Raiders tickets hottest in town (ABC)
« on: September 05, 2012, 08:11:21 AM »
Canberra Raiders coach David Furner has named both Sam Williams and Josh Dugan in the side to play the Cronulla Sharks in their rugby league semi-final at Canberra Stadium on Sunday.

Both players missed the win over the Warriors in New Zealand and will be given until Thursday to prove their fitness.

Tickets for Sunday's final have been in high demand, to watch the Raiders play in front of a home crowd for the last time this season.

So far 20,000 tickets have been sold, with 11,000 tickets sold on Tuesday.

Raiders prop Dane Tilse says the team is keen to channel the hype.

"It would be great to get a full house down there, playing in front of our home crowd," he said.

"I know the boys will lift for the game and it's a really exciting time for the club."

Coach David Furner says the team is looking forward to the clash.

"Certainly the semi-finals there is going to be a bit more speed, a bit more aggression out of the two sides," he said.

"Whoever loses, it's all over for them for the season.

"The players are excited about it."

An extended 20 man squad has been picked for Sunday's game.
