2022 NRL round 20: Canberra Raiders vs Gold Coast Titans match day guide and preview
Canberra Raiders look to get in Gold Coast Titans' Tino Fa'asuamaleaui's face
It's a battle of the two biggest boppers in the NRL - the Canberra Raiders' Joe Tapine and his Gold Coast counterpart Tino Fa'asuamaleaui.
And the Green Machine will look to get in the face of the Titans enforcer to ensure he doesn't get a roll on when the two teams clash at the Gold Coast on Saturday.
Tapine leads the NRL for post-contact metres with 1269 - and leads the forwards for run metres with 2966m - while Fa'asuamaleaui sits second with 1121m.
Canberra Raiders co-captain Elliott Whitehead would back an NRL pride round
Canberra Raiders co-captain Elliott Whitehead would be "all for" a pride round if the NRL introduced one.
The Raiders' NRL rivals Manly have been swamped in controversy this week after the Sea Eagles announced they would wear a pride jersey with rainbow stripes on it for their potentially finals-defining clash against the Sydney Roosters at Brookvale on Thursday night.
But seven Manly players refused to wear the jersey on religious grounds and won't play against the Roosters.
