Raiders celebrated a win; Tigers struggle after loss, impacting finals chances. GIO Stadium awaits.
The Raiders are riding high after an impressive victory dubbed the Miracle in Mudgee, while the Wests Tigers are still recovering from their disappointing performance in the Letdown at Leichhardt.
Kaeo Weekes' dramatic golden point win places the Raiders in a strong position for their second-ever minor premiership, contrasting sharply with the Tigers, whose chances of reaching the finals have dimmed following their recent loss to the Cowboys where they squandered a 12-point lead.
This weekend, the Raiders aim to entertain the enthusiastic crowd at GIO Stadium, with fans expected to turn out in large numbers not only for this game but also for an upcoming home final, their first since 2020 under Ricky Stuart's leadership.
