The Canberra Raiders are gearing up for a boost in their bid for a 2024 finals run, as injured duo Jamal Fogarty and Zac Hosking make their much-anticipated return for the round 20 showdown against the Warriors.
Sitting in 11th place, the Raiders have hit a rough patch with six losses in their last nine games.
However, prior to the dynamic duo's injuries, the team was riding high in third place after round six, showing promise for a successful season.
Hosking was a standout player for the Raiders in 2024, putting in memorable performances with two tries in five games and an impressive 142 tackles at 95% efficiency.
As Fogarty and Hosking prepare to make their comeback, they are injecting a fresh energy into the team to turn around the losing streak and push the Raiders back into the top eight.
Fogarty has been sorely missed since his bicep injury against the Broncos, leaving a gap in the Raiders' lineup that they hope will now be filled with his return.
With their sights set on the finals, the Raiders are counting on the return of these two key players to reignite their season and keep their hopes alive for a strong finish.
