Unfortunately, Felice Quinlan is out for the season with an ankle injury, while Emma Barnes is sidelined indefinitely due to a jaw injury.
These absences will surely be felt by the team, but the Raiders have assembled a strong squad to face the Broncos.
With players like Zahara Temara and Ash Quinlan leading the team, the Raiders will be looking to secure a victory against a tough Brisbane side.
The leadership of Simaima Taufa and the speed of Shakiah Tungai will also be key factors in the team's success.
The forward pack, consisting of players like Grace Kemp and Hollie-Mae Dodd, will need to dominate in the scrums and provide a solid platform for the team's attacking plays.
The inclusion of Ua Ravu and Kerehitina Matua on the bench will provide the team with fresh legs and impact off the interchange.
The absence of Felice Quinlan will be felt in the backline, but the likes of Apii Nicholls and Madison Bartlett will be eager to step up and make their mark.
Cheyelle Robins-Reti and Alanna Dummett will also be crucial in shutting down the Broncos' attacking threats.
Overall, the Canberra Raiders have named a strong and balanced squad for their match against the Brisbane Broncos.
With the right combination of skill, leadership, and determination, they will be hoping to secure a win and strengthen their position in the NRLW ladder.
