Raiders back on the road to face Sharks

by NRL

have named an unchanged line-up for the clash against Cronulla on Sunday, with Josh Papalii cleared of any serious knee damage after leaving the game early on Sunday against the Titans.

Scans have cleared Papalii of any serious knee damage after he sustained a cork above his knee and he will undergo physiotherapy this week to determine if he can take his place on the field against the Sharks.

Jarrad Kennedy has been named as 18th man for the Raiders and will come into the team if Papalii doesn't respond to treatment this week.

Injured star Josh Dugan will resume full squad training for the first time tomorrow morning following an ankle injury he sustained against the Cowboys in round 16.

Raiders Coach David Furner said Dugan would need to complete at least a week's worth of training before he would consider bringing him back into the team, while Dane Tilse was another player who would need to get through training before returning.

"Josh will only resume training for the first time with the squad tomorrow and we will need to see if he can get through a few sessions before we can think about bringing him back into the team," Furner said. "Dane Tilse failed a fitness test on his injured ribs heading into last week's final session and we will need to see him do some contact work before he can come back into the team as well."
