Canberra Raiders face South Sydney Rabbitohs, seeking win for September playoff hopes. Elliott Whitehead milestone.
The Canberra Raiders will close out the round on Sunday evening against the South Sydney Rabbitohs in a contest with major ramifications on both sides hopes of featuring in September.
Breaking a run of losses with a sorely-needed win at home last Friday, the Canberra Raiders will be determined to rise to the occasion as captain Elliott Whitehead become only the 15th man to play 200 NRL games for the club.
Holding off the Warriors - despite being outscored four tries to three - most recently, coach Ricky Stuart has stuck solid with the same squad despite only using 16 players in the 20-18 victory.
