Raiders hooker Tom Starling believes that his dynamic partnership with rookie Owen Pattie can propel Canberra to the grand final.
This season, the duo has established a formidable pairing at dummy-half, with Starling starting each game and Pattie entering to inject energy and dynamism into the play.
Pattie's ability to outmaneuver defenders as they tire has been pivotal in Canberra's late-game dominance, evidenced by their success in winning 15 of 21 second halves this year.
