The 12th round of the Knock-On Effect NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg Cup sees both Raiders teams competing at home against the Dragons at Raiders Belconnen.
Recent performances, particularly from prop Trey Mooney, have been commendable.
Mooney scored a crucial try that spurred the Raiders in a tightly contested match against the Jets, while second-rower Noah Martin stood out, opening the scoring and earning his NRL debut against the Warriors this weekend.
This game will feature a slightly altered squad, allowing new players the opportunity to secure their positions.
Coach Chris Lewis is strategically filling gaps as some players move up to first grade during the Origin period.
Changes in the backline include Jensen Taumoepeau starting on the wing after previously being on the bench against Newtown.
Additionally, Chevy Stewart may join the NSW Cup side, as he has been named in the extended NRL squad.
