Canberra Raiders' small yet tough hooking duo, Chante Temara and Emma Barnes, aim to win the club's first women's premiership.

The Canberra Times

The phrase don't judge a book by its cover never rang more true than when talking about the Canberra Raiders hooking duo of Chante Temara and Emma Barnes.

Standing at 154 centimetres and 162 centimetres tall, and 65 kilograms and 56 kilograms respectively, the dummy-half pair might be two of the smallest players in the NRLW, but that doesn't mean they aren't tough as nails.

Now the foundation Raiders players want to repay the faith that Canberra has shown them by winning the club's first women's premiership.
