Canberra are cruising towards claiming the minor premiership off the back of their spectacular golden point win over Penrith last week. 

The Raiders have won their last two games on the bounce after suffering a surprise defeat to St George Illawarra in Round 22. 

Ricky Stuart's side will now seek to claim their third win in a row and cement their first-placed spot on the ladder when they take on the Wests Tigers. 

The last time these two sides met was in Round 16 when the Green Machine prevailed 16-12.

Raiders latest team news:

Canberra claimed a stunning victory over Penrith in golden point last week to all but assure themselves of the minor premiership. 

However, the victory came at a price, with Xavier Savage sidelined for the rest of the season with a shoulder injury. 

Savelio Tamale has returned from a long-term knee injury just in time to take his place on the wing. 

Matty Nicholson made his return from a foot injury last week via the NSW Cup, but has not been rushed back by Ricky Stuart.
