The Raiders pulled off a classic upset last week by taking down the Panthers, but now coach Ricky Stuart is looking to lead his team in another surprise attack against the Roosters.
Just like in the glory days of Rugby League, Canberra outlasted their opponents to claim a thrilling 22-18 victory in captain Elliott Whitehead's farewell home game.
But as any seasoned footy fan knows, playing on pure emotion can only get you so far - the Raiders will need to reset and regroup if they want to pull off another shock win.
Meanwhile, the Roosters are flying high after running riot against the Titans in a 48-22 victory.
With nine tries under their belt, they've soared to second place on the ladder.
But as captain James Tedesco knows all too well, there's always room for improvement in the game.
They'll need to tighten up their defense and limit the points scored against them if they want to stay at the top of the table.
Unfortunately for the Roosters, they'll be missing the experience of veteran forward Jared Waerea-Hagreaves, who's facing a three-match ban for a high shot in the last game.
It's a tough blow for the team, but as any footy fan can tell you, setbacks are just part of the game.
To add to their woes, rising star Joseph-Aukuso Sua'ali'i won't be available for selection either.
After initially hoping he'd recover from a shoulder injury in time, it turns out he's aggravated a pre-existing neck issue.
It's a tough break for the young player, but he's already started his rehab and will be back on the field before you know it.
So, as the Roosters and Raiders gear up to face off, fans can expect a fierce battle on the field.
It's a clash of titans, a showdown of strength and skill.
In the world of Rugby League, anything can happen - and that's what makes it such a thrilling sport to watch.
Let the games begin!
