Simaima Taufa, suspended for dangerous contact, will miss Raiders' finals unless they reach the grand final.
You would do well to find someone more desperate to spearhead the Raiders to an NRLW title than Simaima Taufa. But when they make their first finals appearance, Canberra's "heart and soul" will be missing.
Because the star Raiders lock is serving a three-game suspension for dangerous contact - and there is only one way she can play for Canberra again this year.
The Raiders will have to reach the grand final.
The road starts in Campbelltown, where the Raiders will meet the Wests Tigers in an elimination final on Friday night.
