After being beaten up by the Sharks in a 40-point shutout last week, the Raiders face a daunting trip to 4 Pines Park to play an in-form Sea Eagles side.
The Green Machine had a tough introduction to life without the injured Jamal Fogarty, as they struggled to generate anything significant with ball in hand, while a stat sheet which included 64 missed tackles showed their problems ran much deeper in Round 8.
They are a chance of getting some help back on deck this week though, with veteran forward Elliott Whitehead set to be declared fit to take on Manly.
