On the other hand, Canberra had a brilliant win last weekend. Down 22-0 against the Wests Tigers early, a heavy thumping was on the cards.
But the Raiders rallied and pulled off one of the greatest combebacks in recent memory.
With Dane Tilse heading to the UK, Paul Vaughan will shift to the front row with Shaun Fensom returning at lock. Mark Nicholls also returns in place of Luke Bateman on the bench.
For Souths, they are unchanged from Monday’s game. The defending premiers are still without key players Adam Reynolds and John Sutton.
