Canberra, surprising many, ranks second in the competition, backed by rugby league legend Andrew Johns.
Ask the madmen who commanded the attention of television cameras by ripping their Raiders jerseys off in the Sydney Football Stadium stands, and they'll tell you Canberra can win the competition.
But if that's not convincing enough, how about asking rugby league's eighth Immortal? Because Andrew Johns is singing from the same hymn sheet.
Johns labels Canberra the biggest surprise packet of the competition having risen to second on the ladder after 13 rounds with three byes - and six free competition points - up their sleeve.
