NRL live updates: Canberra Raiders vs Dolphins, Round 12

Here’s how the two teams will line up tonight.

Raiders

The Raiders have had to make a game-day change at hooker, with Owen Pattie starting the match in the number 14 shirt, while Tom Starling will come off the bench in the nine.

Aside from that, there are two big outs for the Raiders, with Hudson Young and five-eighth Ethan Strange away on NSW Blues duty.

Daine Laurie has been named at five-eighth, while Ata Mariota starts in the back row to replace those two key players.

There is some good news in the backs though, with Xavier Savage making a swift return from a syndesmosis injury he suffered in Round 5, pushing Jed Stuart to the bench.

Simi Sasagi has a shoulder injury so Zac Hosking will play in the second row in his return from concussion.

Young forward Jordan Uta is set to make his NRL debut from the bench.

Dolphins

Only one thing to say about the Dolphins team…

The Redcliffe boys have been hit with five Origin call ups this week (Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, Selwyn Cobbo, Kulikefu Finefeuiaki, Thomas Flegler and Max Plath) plus a couple of big outs through injury, so this is a much-changed side to the one that has won its last three NRL matches.

Herbie Farnworth and Kodi Nikorima are both out with hamstring injuries, meaning Kristian Woolf has had to make six changes from last week.

Thrust into a starting role on debut, 18-year-old Brian Pouniu shifts from the bench to the centres to cover Farnworth, with Trai Fuller taking over at fullback for the first time, and Tevita Naufahu slotting in on the wing.

Bradley Schneider will start at five-eighth.

Francis Molo and Jeremy Marshall-King slot into the front row in place of Maroons reps Thomas Flegler and Max Plath.

Fortunately for the Dolphins, Finefeuiaki was released from the Origin camp by Billy Slater and is a big add for the Dolphins tonight.
