Wests Tigers v Raiders: Pole, Twal return; Stuart set for debut
Such is the tightness of the competition in 2025 that Wests Tigers sit just one win above the last-placed Titans and one win outside the top eight.
The addition of Jarome Luai, Sunia Turuva and Terrell May has made the Tigers are far more competitive unit but the reality is a loss to the high-flying Raiders will place them in a vulnerable position with three away games against the Sea Eagles, Roosters and Warriors to follow.
The Raiders come in fresh off their first bye of the season and are perfectly poised to cement their top-four position with games against Wests Tigers, Newcastle and the Dragons before another bye in Round 19.
With their young guns coming of age and old hands Josh Papalii and Jamal Fogarty steering the ship superbly, the Green Machine faithful are daring to dream of a first premiership since 1994.
