The Raiders and Roosters, with contrasting strategies, meet in a preliminary final after successful NRLW seasons influenced by their coaching changes.
When Canberra and Sydney Roosters were both entrenched in their NRLW pre-seasons, their respective coaching teams decided to shake things up.
The Raiders held emotional 'vulnerability sessions' in which each player spoke about their background and journey to rugby league, while the Roosters overhauled their on-field winning formula.
The pair's strategies may have been vastly different, but they've both played an integral role in helping spur their respective successful seasons.
Now the two side's will demonstrate just how much of an impact those changes have made when they face off in their preliminary final on Saturday at Allianz Stadium.
