We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
The Raiders have a grand final to make and they don't care who gets in their way.
That was the message they sent the rest of the NRL when Corey Horsburgh deliberately tossed Cam Munster's boot 20 metres after a tackle and Matt Timoko introduced the Storm captain to his palm with an incredible fend before scoring a sensational try last week.
"I'm sure Munster would toss away my boot too," Horsburgh said. "That's footy, everyone loves a bit of banter.

All eyes on the Eels, who are trying to avoid a week two finals exit for the fourth straight year. They poured plenty into the qualifying final against the Panthers, but were overpowered in the final 25 minutes thanks to a Nathan Cleary masterclass. Mitchell Moses is on track to play after suffering a heavy concussion in that game.

Canberra's former bad boy Hudson Young puts his career-best form this season down to finally learning to control his aggression on the field.
