Canberra Times sport podcast: Joey Leilua's comeback, love for Nick Kyrgios and Nathan Lyon's standing as the GOAT

The brilliant centre has been named in the Raiders' squad for a massive clash against the Sydney Roosters at Canberra Stadium on Sunday.

Leilua hasn't played in three months, but has recently returned to full contact training after having surgery on a career-threatening neck injury in May.

Leilua got tongues wagging with a cryptic Instagram post on Tuesday with words, written in lime green, saying: "see yous next year". A few hours later he was named in Canberra's team.

The Raiders are flying and Leilua gives them another boost coming into the finals. But should the Raiders ease him back into action, or throw him into battle against the Roosters?

There was plenty to talk about on the podcast this week. We hear from Jarrod Croker before his 250^th NRL game and talk team news for the high-flying Green Machine.

The GWS Giants are coming back to Canberra for a Friday-night showdown with Hawthorn, with fans (including ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr) ready to freeze through a chilly night.

Nick Kyrgios is back in the winner's circle, so do we love him again?

Steve Smith is back scoring centuries, so do we love him again?

Nathan Lyon is taking more wickets, and we've always loved the GOAT. But where does he stand among Australia's cricketing greats?
