Grand Final Preview: Raiders v Roosters

The Canberra Raiders will run out for their first Grand Final appearance since 1994 when they take on the Sydney Roosters in the 2019 Grand Final at ANZ Stadium this Sunday night.

The Raiders will be hoping to win the club’s fourth ever premiership, their first in 25 years, when they run out against the reigning premiers.

The Green Machine will be looking to re-create their emphatic victory over the Rabbitohs last weekend, defeating them 16-10 in front of 26,567 screaming fans.

Defence has been a key area of Canberra’s incredible 2019 campaign, an area that was on display in the recent victory over South Sydney. The Raiders finished the game with less possession (44%) than the Bunnies, yet managed to keep them to only two tries.

In the biggest game of the year, Ricky Stuart has named his strongest possible line-up, with Joey Leilua to take his place on Sunday night after suffering a lower leg injury.
