After suffering back-to-back defeats to kick off 2023, the Raiders will be seeking a return to form in their first home game of the season against a Sharks side who beat the Eels last week.

With the Raiders struggling to make yardage through the opening two weeks – an area they rank 13th in heading into Round 3 – coach Ricky Stuart could be pondering changes to his forward pack.
