This Sunday at GIO Stadium, the Canberra Raiders will host the South Sydney Rabbitohs, with both teams fielding their Origin stars.

The Raiders are in great form, showcasing a young spine featuring Ethan Sanders, Ethan Strange, and Owen Pattie, with 23-year-old Kaeo Weekes as the oldest member.

Their recent thrilling come-from-behind victory highlights their resilience.

On the other hand, the Rabbitohs put up a strong fight in a 30-36 loss to the Warriors, with Latrell Mitchell returning to the squad post-Origin.

Their left edge proved effective, contributing to an Alex Johnston hat trick.

This weekend, they welcome back Jack Wighton and Cody Walker from calf injuries, adding more depth to their lineup.

The Raiders, celebrating Josh Papalii's record-breaking 319th game with the club, show no signs of slowing down.

They also benefit from the return of Starling from suspension and Fogarty from injury.

As the Raiders aim for their fourth consecutive victory and strive to maintain their position on the ladder, it's clear that fans have plenty to cheer for in what is shaping up to be a strong season for the team.
