Are the Raiders back on track?
The season began poorly for the reigning minor premiers, who found themselves at 1-4 with a series of four consecutive losses at home from the previous year's finals.
From Rounds 2 to 5, they managed to score only 50 points, resulting in defeats during that span.
However, in their last four matches, they have amassed 104 points, boosting their average from 12.5 to 26.
They have also secured three victories in this period, bringing their season closer to balance.
Could it be that Ricky Stuart's squad still has a shot at this?
Sharks set a tone
This season, understanding the Sharks has proven to be challenging.
