We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
After his team blew the Wests Tigers off the park, Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart sent a warning shot to the rest of the top eight - they're not just making up the numbers.
It comes after the Green Machine smashed the Wests Tigers 56-10 at Leichhardt Oval on Sunday, with a blistering first half setting up the win.
That's despite Stuart opting to rest two of his stars, Jack Wighton and Elliott Whitehead, to freshen them up for their trip to Melbourne to face the Storm next Saturday.
Canberra rubber stamped their return to the finals in style by smashing Wests Tigers 56-10 at Leichhardt Oval on Sunday to lock up eighth spot on the NRL ladder.
The victory in front of 10,041 fans means the Raiders travel to Melbourne for an elimination final next Saturday 10 September.
Canberra have enjoyed seven wins from their last eight games and go to Melbourne knowing they have beaten the Storm at AAMI Park on four successive visits.
The Sharks conquered their simple mission on the last day of the regular season, defeating the Knights to secure a home qualifying final.
The Sharks beat the Knights 38-16 in Newcastle to dislodge the Cowboys from second on the ladder, ensuring they'll face North Queensland at PointsBet Stadium in the opening week of the finals. They avoid a trip to Townsville.
The Panthers, Sharks, Cowboys and Eels make up the top four, and the Storm, Roosters, Rabbitohs and Raiders round out the top eight.
