Fresh off six straight wins and a crushing victory over the Cronulla Sharks, the Raiders will be out to continue their scintillating form when they host the ladder-leading Melbourne Storm on Monday night at GIO Stadium. You won’t want to miss this encounter!
The theme for the match is Women in League, with exhibition women’s tackle, tag and touch rugby league games held pre-game and during half-time.
