The Raiders Jersey Flegg Cup side have palmed off the chasers to cement their position in finals, with a chance to move up the ladder this weekend with a win over the Panthers.
After a late season slump, Canberra ran away with a big 46-12 victory over the Rabbitohs last weekend to gain some much-needed momentum coming into the finals series.
The young spine of Darmody, Cowling, Alaia and Brophy were instrumental in the side's win as they continue to build into the last game of the regular season.
Pending weekend results, a win could push them as high as second on the ladder with plenty to play for.
