Second-rower Joseph Tapine will miss the remainder of the 2018 season due to a broken thumb.
Scans confirmed a break of a bone in the thumb which Tapine suffered during the Canberra Raiders win of the Sydney Roosters last Sunday.
Tapine will join trio Jarrod Croker, Jack Wighton and Ata Hingano on the season-ending injury list as Tapine will be looking for a quick recovery in order to begin pre-season for the 2019 competition.
In 2018, Tapine managed 16 games for the green machine, scoring six tries, making 586.1 post contact metres and having a total of 1489 running metres.
Winger Michael Oldfield will continued to be observed this week in order to make his return to the field from a knee injury.
Oldfield was last week named in the extended squad and this week will be pushing for a position in the final 17.
With the Raiders not featuring in finals for 2018, they'll be looking to finish the season off on a positive note in their final two games against the Rabbitohs and the Warriors.
