The Raiders will take on a ninth placed Roosters outfit, granting a great opportunity to build on momentum coming into the finals series.

The Raiders will take on the Roosters in the last round of the regular season with a huge opportunity to win the minor premiership.
Canberra enters this contest tied on competition points with North Sydney but with a far superior for and against, where a win on Sunday would guarantee them the week off heading into finals.
The Roosters have arguably been the form team of the competition. Although placed 11th, they have won their past four while defeating premiership threats in the Bears and Bulldogs.
Raiders halfback Adam Cook continues to lead the league in try and line break assists while captain Hohepa Puru leads the comp in total tackles.
