The Canberra Raiders face a disappointing season, now clashing with bottom-ranked St George Illawarra despite last year's top finish.
Talk about a fall from grace for the Canberra Raiders.
In one of the most embarrassing twists of this NRL season, last year's minor premiers will face St George Illawarra on Sunday in a clash between the NRL's bottom two teams.
We can't exactly call it a spoon bowl play-off because the Raiders are six competition points clear of the Dragons and still have an extra bye up their sleeve.
Barring a complete disaster, the Raiders won't finish last.
But there is no escaping the reality that this has become a trainwreck of a season for Ricky Stuart's team that finished first on the ladder just eight months ago.
