Michael Maguire says Canberra's finals destiny is in their own hands, dubbing Corey Parker "the Queensland version of Gus Gould" after he declared the Raiders will not win again this season.
The Raiders are clinging to their top four hopes, sitting fifth on the NRL ladder despite a points differential of -74, which is the fifth-worst in the competition.
Canberra snuck home by four points against the last-placed Wests Tigers at Canberra Stadium on Sunday and now turn their attention to the Melbourne Storm in a game which could make or break their dream of a top four finish.
