The Raiders will be looking to keep their finals hopes intact with a win against NRL premiership favourites Penrith in Mudgee on Saturday. "That (Cleary, Sanders face-off) is not spoken about. Matty Nicholson has missed a large chunk of the NRL season with a shoulder injury. For the Panthers, coach Ivan Cleary has dropped five-eighth Blaize Talagi, who scored a double against Canberra in round 10, and replaced him with Jack Cogger. It follows a flurry of poor defensive performances by Talagi in recent weeks and will add another disruption to Penrith's spine with fullback Dylan Edwards out with a shoulder injury.
