The Green Machine will be without representative players Joel Monaghan and Tom Learoyd-Lahrs and will need to step a gear if they want the two points. STATS BOX HEAD TO HEAD Played 55, Raiders 27, Penrith 27, drawn 1 At CUA Stadium. Played 24, Raiders 9, Penrith 14, Drawn 1 LAST 5 CLASHES 2009 – PANTHERS 27 d. RAIDERS 14 at CUA Stadium PANTHERS 18 d. RAIDERS 10 at Canberra Stadium 2008 – RAIDERS 74 d. PANTHERS 12 at Canberra Stadium – RAIDERS 20 d. PANTHERS 16 at CUA Stadium BIGGEST HEAD TO HEAD WINS RAIDERS 74 d. PANTHERS 12 at Canberra Stadium, 2008 PANTHERS 42 d. RAIDERS 8 at CUA Stadium 1982 MATCH-UPS Reece Robinson – Michael Gordon In his first game with the club at NRL level Robinson has the chance to seal himself a spot in first grade with the injury to Joel Monaghan and he’ll be looking for a strong showing against the Panthers. Expect the Panthers to target Robinson’s wing early in the match to see if the Raiders new recruit is ready. The Raiders will be hoping they do. Jarrod Croker – Michael Jennings Croker has the mission first up this season of containing one of the fleetest footed players in the league in Michael Jennings. The Panthers flyer has switched to the left hand side of the field this year after a stunning performance for the NRL All-Stars so Croker will need to defend well. In attack Croker is a dangerous option out wide for the Raiders and they will look to use him early in the tackle count. Bronson Harrison – Trent Waterhouse Two players here who play big minutes and play big parts for their side. Harrison led the league in offloads in 2009 and will be out to replicate this form in 2010, while Waterhouse showed signs last season that he’s back to his best. HE SAID IT – with Jarrod Croker “If we number up in defence and stay focused, there’s no reason we can’t win this game on Saturday. We know the Panthers have been in good form but we’re keen to get out there.” WORTH NOTING * Tom Learoyd-Lahrs will miss the opening round with a knee injury. * Shaun Fensom and James Stuart have been named on an extended bench * Josh Miller starts in his new fulltime role as starting lock. * The Raiders Toyota Cup kicks off against the Panthers at 5.15pm [rainbow]Link[/rainbow]
