Both Raiders and Cowboys seek redemption after recent losses, with Canberra showing resilience despite a tough defeat.
Canberra will be eager to rebound after their 22-10 loss to Cronulla. While the result was disappointing, the Raiders remained in the contest for long periods and showed enough resilience to suggest they remain firmly in the hunt for a finals berth.
The Cowboys also enter Round 5 searching for answers following a 34-6 defeat to the Gold Coast Titans. North Queensland have yet to find winning form this season, but Magic Round is a fresh opportunity to reset their campaign.
The Raiders have been at their best when they control possession and build pressure through their forward pack. Despite last week's loss, there were periods where Canberra challenged Cronulla's defence and looked capable of turning the match.
