Raiders and Sea Eagles battle for finals spots, with key players unlikely to play due to injuries.
The stakes could not be higher for the Raiders and Sea Eagles as the battle for finals spots goes into overdrive with five rounds to go in the regular season.
The Sea Eagles sit seventh on 27 competition points and arrive in Canberra refreshed after a bye and ready to welcome back Haumole Olakau'atu from suspension and speedsters Jason Saab and Reuben Garrick from head knocks suffered against the Roosters.
The Raiders pushed the Bulldogs to the limit in a hostile environment at Belmore on Sunday but the loss left them one win outside the eight with games against the Sea Eagles, Cowboys, Panthers, Roosters and Dragons to come.
