The Raiders NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg teams are on the road this weekend as they surge towards the pointy end of the season.
NSW Cup
The Raiders NSW Cup side will take on sixth-placed Newtown Jets at Henson Park in Sydney on Saturday afternoon.
The NSW Cup team are back to their winning ways after defeating the Western Suburbs Magpies 28-22 last weekend, making it two wins in a row.
Off the back of consecutive wins, the Raiders sit seventh on the ladder and are only separated by two points to the second placed Warriors.
The NSW Cup team will need to continue their flurry of wins if they wish to be up the top end of the ladder at the end of the regular season.
The Jets went down to the Rabbitohs 32-16 last weekend in their third loss in a row, bridging the gap to only one point between themselves and the Raiders.
As the last few weeks creep upon us, the Raiders are hitting some form at the crucial time of the year.
The Raiders were victorious over the Jets earlier this year at GIO Stadium Canberra, but the Jets will be a tough opposition at their home ground.
The Raiders will lose Ethan Strange as he is set to make his NRL debut, with Utuloa Asomua replacing him in the backline.
Jaxon Lavender also comes into the team replacing Josh Allen on the bench for the Raiders.
The Jets have a few changes of their own, with Daniel Atkinson at fullback and Kayal Iro at centre to round up the backline.
The Jets will play host to the Raiders at Henson Park in Sydney, Saturday at 3pm.

Jersey Flegg Cup
The Raiders Jersey Flegg team are continuing their late-season surge towards finals as they enter the top eight ahead of their game against the Sharks on Friday afternoon.
The Jersey Flegg side is on a winning spree as of late, defeating the Wests Tigers for their fifth win in a row on the weekend to clench eighth spot.
The Sharks had a bye last weekend following their loss to the Panthers the week before, giving hope that the Raiders can secure a victory at 3:45 pm on Friday at PointsBet Stadium.
The Raiders are only two points from dropping out of the top eight, with Tigers and Sea Eagles looming large in ninth and tenth.
A victory for the Jersey Flegg team will edge them closer to fifth place who are only two competition points away.
Second rower Jaxon Lavender will play NSW Cup this weekend, as Jacob Piper moves from the interchange to fill that void.
Only one change for the Sharks with Cain Barnes is replaced by Te Wehi Waitere.
