NRL Match Preview: Raiders v Eels

The Canberra Raiders head up to Darwin this weekend hoping to make it four wins in a row as they take on the Parramatta Eels at TIO Stadium.

Canberra will be hoping the return of co-captain Josh Hodgson and NSW centre Jack Wighton can help inspire a fourth win and keep the side in the top four.

The Raiders come into the clash off the back of a gutsy 22-20 win of the Cronulla Sharks, a game which saw the Green Machine lead 20-8 at halftime in very cold conditions.

The Eels also head into the match with a win after beating the Broncos 38-10 in Round 14.

Last Time: The Raiders defeated the Eels 19-0 in Round 5 of this season at GIO Stadium. It was the Canberra Raiders second shut-out of the season, keeping Parramatta scoreless whilst Papalii, Whitehead and Wighton all crossed over for tries.
