The Canberra Raiders have announced their squad for their inaugural NRLW match of the season against the St George-Illawarra Dragons, set to take place at GIO Stadium Canberra on Saturday afternoon.
Notable inclusions in the squad are Georgia Thomas and Lili Boyle, who will both make their NRLW debuts.
Additionally, Leianne Tufuga, Chloe Saunders, Isabella Waterman, and Jordyn Preston will also debut for the Raiders.
Development player Boyle has been granted an exemption to participate in round one due to a series of injuries affecting the squad.
However, the Raiders will be without half Sereana Naitokatoka, who has been suspended after receiving a grade two dangerous contact charge in a trial match against the Knights.
This match marks the first of three consecutive home games for the Raiders to start the season, with kickoff scheduled for 3:15 PM.
