QUEANBEYAN Blues junior Cy

Lasscock is set to make his first

grade NRL debut on Monday night

for the Canberra Raiders when

they host South Sydney.

Lasscock has been named on a

five-man bench after a strong

showing for Canberra's feeder club

Souths Logan this year in the

Queensland Cup.

The 22-year-old prop said his

selection came as a shock.

''I'm over the moon, I didn't

expect it,'' he said.

''I've been putting everything

into the training sessions we've

had this year, it was definitely a

goal of mine to work my way into

first grade this year.''

A decision on whether Lasscock

plays will be made prior to kick-off

on Monday night with the fitness

of Neville Costigan still in doubt as

he looks to return from injury.

If the Queanbeyan front-rower

works out for the Green Machine,

he will join former Blues players

Terry Campese and Trevor Thurling.

''They both came up and

congratulated me once the side

was announced, I've played a fair

bit of footy with them in Premier

League and I'm looking forward to

it,'' Lasscock said.

''I've been playing some good

footy for Souths Logan so I think

I'm ready for it.

''It's been difficult [playing in

Queensland], you get sick of flying

after a while, but it's not so bad

once you're up there, the people

up there are really good.''

Lasscock started with the

Raiders in it's under 16s Harold

Matthews team.

Monday night's game is an

important contest for Canberra,

who have lost their last three

games and slipped to 13th on the

NRL ladder.
