Round four action this weekend for the Raiders Tarsha Gale Cup team, with the side looking for their first win of the season.
The Raiders take on the Rabbitohs on Saturday at Windsor Sporting Complex, kicking off at 5pm.
It's been a tough start to the competition for the Raiders team, who have faced the top three sides of the competition in the opening three rounds.
Coach Josh Hardy says that it's been a learning curve for the side, with some positives to take from each match.
"The Steelers have been arguably been the best team in the competition since its inception, the Dragons were the premiers last year and the Roosters were grand finalists so its been tough," Hardy said.
"We’ve taken a fair few positives away from it because we’ve been able to compete in most of the games. The Roosters blew us off the paddock towards the back end last week which was a bit disappointing but we’re looking towards the positives.
“When we hold on to the ball our attack is going alright but we’ve just got to learn that when we drop the ball our errors are really hurting us so we’ve got to minimise our errors and hopefully we can come away with a good result.”
Hardy has been impressed with a number of players in the team, with a good mix of younger and more experienced players.
“We’ve had a few of the younger girls who have really impressed. Georgia Willey has been an absolute machine, scoring tries at will and making some really important tackles for us," Hardy said.
"Young Kayla Fleming, she’ll have sore shoulders she’s making a thousand tackles. And then we’ve got some of the older girls, Alanna Dummett has been really impressive in a leadership role and so has Hayley Liddle.”
The Raiders take on the Rabbitohs this weekend, who are also looking for their first win of the season.
Hardy says the team is expecting another difficult encounter.
“They are another tough side, there is no easy team in the competition. We haven’t really looked too much into them, we’re just worrying about ourselves at the moment, but they’ll be a tough opposition especially playing them at home," Hardy said.
“We’ve got the bye next week so hopefully we can get a result leading into the bye.”
