Centre Cameron Booth and utility Dylan McGrath have slotted in seamlessly after playing for the Raiders in the under-18 SG Ball competition. With that finished, the duo loom as valuable additions for the rest of the Canberra Raiders Cup competition. McGrath's deft grubber kick late in the game set up the match-winning try as the Rams stormed to a 34-30 upset of the Queanbeyan Blues last week.

The Rams are going for back-to-back victories when they take on the West Belconnen Warriors at Kippax on Saturday.

Rams captain Josh Burns said having quality young Raiders players slot into first grade was beneficial for his club and as a developmental tool for the players.

''From our club's point of view, we've had a lot over the years,'' Burns said. ''We've had Edrick come through and play a couple of games for us, as did his cousin [Raiders' under-20s player) Brenko Lee.

''For them, skill-wise I don't think there's a big difference between first grade and 20s, but it's probably a little bit tougher.

''I think they get a lot out of it and we certainly do, their skills from working through the grades rubs off on our players.''

The Rams will be without pacy centre Mitch Vincent, who scored two terrific long-range tries against the Blues.

But the lowly Warriors have their own issues as they search for their first win of the season; five-eighth Joe Cramp is sidelined with a medial ligament strain in his knee. However, they will take heart from a strong performance last week.
