The Canberra Raiders have made some changes to their NRLW squad as they prepare to face the Gold Coast Titans at GIO Stadium Canberra in round nine.
According to a report on raiders.com.au titled "NRLW Squad Update: Raiders v Titans," the team has reduced their squad to 19 players.
However, two players, Jess Gentle and Ahlivia Ingram, have been retained in the extended squad.
The decision to trim the squad indicates that the team is focusing on a selected group of players who they believe are best equipped to take on the Titans.
This strategic move suggests that the Raiders are aiming to field their strongest possible team to secure a victory in this crucial match.
By reducing the squad, the coaching staff can now concentrate on fine-tuning the game plan and ensuring that the chosen players are well-prepared for the upcoming challenge.
The decision to retain Gentle and Ingram in the extended squad also reflects the team's confidence in their abilities and potential contribution to the game.
It is likely that the coaching staff sees these two players as valuable assets who can provide depth and versatility to the team if required.
As the Raiders prepare to face the Titans, they will be relying on the selected 19 players to deliver a strong performance and secure a much-needed win.
