LeagueNews.co | Robbie Hamilton

The Canberra Raiders NRLW team are gearing up for a fiery clash against the St George Illawarra Dragons this Saturday morning in Wollongong.

Kick-off is scheduled for 11:05am.

The Raiders, who recently made history by securing back-to-back wins, are now eyeing a third consecutive victory against the Dragons.

Meanwhile, their opponents suffered a heavy defeat of 30-0 to the Roosters in their previous match.

Last week, the Raiders emerged triumphant with a 28-22 win over the Tigers in Canberra, showcasing their attacking prowess across the field.

Currently positioned fifth on the ladder with just one loss, the team is in good form.

Monalisa Soliola and Cheyelle Robins-Reti have been standout performers, each scoring two tries in as many games.

However, the Raiders will be without Mackenzie Wiki, who sustained a mid-foot sprain and will be replaced by debutant Alanna Dummett.

The 19-year-old was brought into the squad last week following Felice Quinlan's season-ending ankle injury.

Dummett has showcased her skills in the Raiders Tarsha Gale side for the past two seasons, even captaining the team last year.
