Campese back for Raiders The Raiders have made several changes for their do or die clash with the Warriors on Saturday afternoon, with Captain Terry Campese back in the team after he was cleared by his eye specialist to resume training and playing. Campese’s return sees Josh McCrone move out of the halves into hooker for the Green Machine, with Glen Buttriss starting from the interchange bench again this weekend. Joel Thompson moves into the centres for the Raiders, with Bill Tupou moving onto the wing for Sandor Earl who has been ruled out with a hamstring injury. The move of Thompson to the centres sees Paul Vaughan named at lock this weekend, with Joel Edwards set to start in the second row. After being a late withdrawal from last weekend’s match Tom Learoyd-Lahrs has been named on the bench this weekend and is expected to make his long awaited return. The other inclusion for the Raiders is forward Jake Foster, with Matt McIlwrick named 18th man. The club is yet to make a decision on the availability of Blake Ferguson.
