Josh Papali’i returns for Knights clash

Star front rower Josh Papali’i has been named to return for the Raiders round four match against the Knights in Newcastle on Sunday afternoon.

Fan favourite Papali’i missed the first three rounds through a calf injury but has been named to start at prop with Pasami Saulo on the bench and Trey Mooney dropping to the extended squad.

Zac Woolford has been named at hooker to play his first NRL gam of the year, replacing the injured Danny Levi who is set to miss 8-10 weeks after fracturing his jaw early in Canberra’s 24-20 win over the Sharks.

James Schiller retains his spot on the wing after he was a late inclusion for Nick Cotric who has a hamstring injury.

The Knights have a couple of handy inclusions with Jayden Brailey and Kurt Mann both returning from injury, while Tyson Frizell has been named on the extended bench.

Greg Marzhew comes onto the wing for his first game for the club, while Jack Johns comes onto the bench. Newcastle are still without star five-eighth Kalyn Ponga and former Raider Adam Elliott.
