Former Origin winger Adam Mogg will make a bizarre shift to halfback for Canberra's NRL clash with South Sydney on Sunday, after No.7 Josh McCrone was ruled out for two weeks with a groin injury.

Mogg's move into the middle of the field is one of several changes to the Raiders' line-up - with Brett Kelly in for the injured James Stuart on the wing, Shaun Fensom returning for the injured Joe Picker and playmaking back-up Marc Herbert coming into the 17 on the bench.

Canberra coach, David Furner said Mogg has had enough experience at the top level for the Raiders, Queensland and Les Catalans to handle the challenges of the halfback role.
