Will Joey Manu play? Indigenous Round team lists, kick-off time and how to watch Raiders vs. Roosters image

After suffering a rude awakening in Magic Round, the Sydney Roosters will be hoping a win over the Canberra Raiders can help change their fates when they travel to the nation's capital this Saturday.

The Raiders will be looking to make it three wins in a row when they host the Roosters, as they slowly get their season back on track after a rocky start.

Can the Roosters avenge their Magic Round nightmare, or will the Raiders pile on the team from Sydney's east?

Will Joey Manu play against Canberra? 

Roosters' star centre Joey Manu has been the topic of much discussion this season, after he revealed his intent to switch codes and join rugby union side Toyota Verblitz in Japan. 

Manu has been in form this season, but there are questions around his commitment to the team, despite the 27-year-old saying repeatedly that his focus remains on the Roosters season. 

"While I’m excited to embrace the challenge of playing rugby in Japan, right now I am focused on finishing this year strongly and performing at my very best for the Roosters," Manu said when he announced his departure.

Roosters fans can rejoice for now, as Manu plans to suit up this weekend against Canberra, as they look to get their season back on track.
