Raiders v Rabbitohs: Fogarty back on deck; Cody, Jack good to go
One of the form teams in the competition, the Raiders have plenty to celebrate this week when they host the Rabbitohs.
Maintaining their place in second spot on the ladder after a gusty win over the Roosters last week, the home crowd will also get to celebrate a club legend in Josh Papali'i break the record of most games for the Raiders, overtaking Jason Croker for 319 games.
The Bunnies come into this match after a gallant loss against the Warriors, where they fought back from at one stage trailing 30-12 to narrow the margin to 36-30 at fulltime.
Skipper Latrell Mitchell, backing up from Origin, stood up in that game to try and inspire his side to an upset, but they fell just short. However, there were still moments to celebrate in the match, including Kumuls winger Alex Johnston reaching 200 premiership tries.
