Canberra will be without Shaun Fensom, David Shillington and Kurt Baptiste for the rest of the 2014 NRL season after the trio suffered season-ending injuries against the Warriors on Sunday.
Fensom ruptured the ACL in his right knee and will undergo surgery this week, with a recovery time of between six to nine months predicted.
Shillington tore his right pectoral muscle and while it has not been decided yet whether he will have surgery, the Raiders say he will not play again this season.
Baptiste will also meet a surgeon this week to determine whether he needs an operation on an injured left shoulder, but nonetheless he also won't be seen in Canberra colours again until the 2015 season.
The Raiders will also be without captain Terry Campese for at least a week after he sustained a minor strain to his external oblique.
Meanwhile, in some good news for Canberra, the club have signed two players from the English Super League that CEO Don Furner says "will be invaluable for our squad."
Hull KR hooker Josh Hodgson has agreed to a two-year deal from 2015 while former New Zealand international Iosia Soliola has also signed a two-year contract from St Helens.
The 24-year-old Hodgson has played more than 100 Super League matches.
Soliola made his debut for the Sydney Roosters in 2005, playing 92 matches for the club before signing with St Helens in 2010.
The 27-year-old utility has 11 Test caps for the Kiwis and also made four appearances for Samoa at the World Cup in 2013.
