The Wests Tigers website, weststigers.com.au, is reporting that the Canberra Raiders will be determined to redeem themselves in front of their loyal fans when they take on the Tigers.

This comes after the Raiders suffered a shocking defeat at home to the Newcastle Knights in their previous game.

Despite this loss, Ricky Stuart's men managed to hold onto fifth position after Round 22.

However, if they want to be considered serious contenders for the premiership this season, they will need to regain their pride.

The Raiders will need to improve their discipline, as they missed 42 tackles and made 16 errors in their last game, which is not up to the standard required to compete in the NRL.

On the other hand, the Wests Tigers should take some confidence from their recent trip to Tamworth, even though they fell short against the Rabbitohs.

Injuries and a lack of discipline were the main factors that hindered their performance.

The Tigers will face the Warriors in Hamilton after their game against the Raiders, which adds to their challenging run home.

Currently, they are sitting four points behind the 16th-placed Dragons and have five weeks left to avoid finishing with the wooden spoon for a second consecutive year.
