We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
Zac Hosking is an early contender for recruit of the year.
The Canberra Raiders second-rower has made an instant impact in the capital, showing not only his skill, strong defence, but versatility as well.
Hosking was part of a convincing Canberra 32-12 victory over Wests Tigers at Canberra Stadium on Saturday - their eighth win in a row against the combine club.
The Benji Marshall coaching era at the Tigers begins with a tough trip to the nation's capital where they take on the high-flying Raiders.
Marshall has been forced to defend his work ethic in the lead up to his head coaching debut and he can silence all the critics with a victory in Canberra.
But the two-time reigning wooden spooners have been listed as outsiders for a reason, with Ricky Stuart's Raiders producing a thumping win over the Titans in Round 1.
Benji Marshall has fired back at criticism over his coaching style, shutting down suggestions he isn't committed enough ahead of the Wests Tigers season opener.
The club legend, who officially took over the reins from Tim Sheens in the off-season, will usher in a new era at Concord today when the side take on the Raiders.
Marshall has limited coaching experience but will have the respect of the playing group - many of who grew up watching the fleet-footed playmaker dominate the NRL.
