The mighty Canberra Raiders are gearing up to take on the Dolphins up at Kayo Stadium in Queensland this Saturday night, in what promises to be a crucial clash.
Currently sitting in eighth place on the ladder, the Raiders will be looking to knock the Dolphins off their perch in fourth place.
It's shaping up to be a real battle as the Raiders fight to solidify their spot in the top eight, especially with many teams getting an easy two points from the bye.
Josh Papalii is set to make his return to the starting lineup after a week off due to suspension.
The experienced prop, with 292 NRL games under his belt, is hungry to reach the impressive milestone of 300 games by the end of the season.
Known for his powerful running game and strong defensive skills, Papalii averages 101 running metres per game and boasts an impressive tackle efficiency of 97.2%.
The Raiders will be counting on his leadership and experience to lead them to victory against the Dolphins.
