We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
The Wests Tigers are set to face a tough challenge when they take on the red-hot Raiders at home in Round 14 of the NRL season.
The Tigers are coming off a record win in Round 12 and a bye in Round 13, but will be without their star hooker Api Koroisau.
The game is scheduled just two days after the Ampol State of Origin series opener, so the Tigers may also be without Stefano Utoikamanu if he plays for the Blues.
She's captained both of her previous NRLW clubs, so it's not surprising Simaima Taufa's in the mix to lead her new club.
Canberra Raiders coach Darrin Borthwick will spend the first month or so of pre-season - which started Monday - before deciding on an inaugural captain, but Taufa and Zahara Temara were two early options.
Temara's currently in Women's State of Origin camp, where she's a Queensland vice-captain.
The sting of missing out on playing last year's Women's State of Origin series is driving Zahara Temara to reclaim the shield for Queensland.
Before the newly-recruited Canberra half dons the Raiders' green jersey, she'll be suiting up in maroon on Thursday for the series opener in Sydney.
In the capital last year Temara was squeezed out of the 17 and could only watch on as Queensland copped a 20-14 defeat to the Sky Blues in front of a record crowd.
