Raiders set to face Roosters, Storm twice in draw revamp
« on: May 20, 2020, 10:34:46 PM »
Vital pieces in the Canberra Raiders' spine have declared they are "happy to play anywhere" after being forced out of their home city despite no known active coronavirus cases. The NRL is set to publish the remainder of the 2020 fixture on Thursday but venues will not be allocated beyond round nine. A revamped 20-round season is tipped to include two highly-anticipated showdowns between Canberra and the reigning premiers, the Sydney Roosters. The Raiders will meet four other clubs twice, expected to be the Melbourne Storm, the Gold Coast Titans, the New Zealand Warriors and the St George-Illawarra Dragons. The Raiders will call Campbelltown Stadium home for phase one of the competition with the NRL using only six venues to meet biosecurity protocols and broadcast considerations.
