The Canberra Raiders are chasing their best performance in a regular season in 30 years, and the players are determined not to let anything slow down their winning form despite a lot more attention coming their way.
A blockbuster NRL home game against the Parramatta Eels in Forever Green Round as part of a triple-header bookended by NRLW and NSW Cup matches sets the stage for potentially the Raiders' eighth-straight victory.
With just three losses to date, the Raiders are on track for their best win-loss record in a regular season since 1995, when they only dropped two games before falling in the finals.

Georgia Thomas returns to the halves, aiming to bolster her partnership with veteran Zahara Temara, which could challenge the Eels' defense effectively.
