The NRL's Las Vegas season-opener has proved to be an ideal starting point for teams aiming for the premiership, with all four participating teams gearing up for finals football next month.

Currently, Canberra stands at the top of the ladder, followed by the Warriors in fourth place, Cronulla in sixth, and Penrith in seventh. Each of these teams has secured a place in the finals, with just two games remaining in the regular season.

This success challenges the typical belief that early-season travel can hinder a team's performance. Raiders hooker Tom Starling mentioned that his team capitalized on the trip, using it to establish a strong foundation for their championship aspirations.

The Raiders are riding high after an impressive victory dubbed the Miracle in Mudgee, while the Wests Tigers are still recovering from their disappointing performance in the Letdown at Leichhardt.

Kaeo Weekes' dramatic golden point win places the Raiders in a strong position for their second-ever minor premiership, contrasting sharply with the Tigers, whose chances of reaching the finals have dimmed following their recent loss to the Cowboys where they squandered a 12-point lead.

This weekend, the Raiders aim to entertain the enthusiastic crowd at GIO Stadium, with fans expected to turn out in large numbers not only for this game but also for an upcoming home final, their first since 2020 under Ricky Stuart's leadership.
