Raiders set to receive boost for Eels clash

White eyes a return against Eels

Canberra Raiders prop Brett White has declared himself a certainty to return for next week's clash with Parramatta in a boost to the injury-plagued club.

White has missed the past two matches with a small eye-socket fracture, but has no doubt he will be fine to line up against the struggling Eels at home after this week's bye.

With fellow props Tom Learoyd-Lahrs and Mark Nicholls sidelined long term, White's availability is timely as the 10th-placed Raiders look to leap into the eight.

Canberra (8-8) kept its finals hopes alive with a 26-18 win over North Queensland on Sunday, and faces bottom-two sides Parramatta and St George Illawarra in its next two matches.
