After a much-improved showing against top four team the Knights last week, the Raiders will be hoping they can go one better and claim their first win when they host Brisbane.
Canberra were able to match it with Newcastle for the first half, going into the break for a historic 0-0 scoreline, but errors early in the second half undid much of their hard work, eventually going down 18-0.
The Broncos however will be a tough team to face, with their attacking prowess on show in the opening half of their 28-14 win over the Sharks.
Tamika Upton didn't let a game stoppage for lightning strike hamper her flow, scoring a hat-trick in the win.
While Brisbane addressed their slow starts which have been a focus for them this season, they will be looking to improve on the defence shown in the second half, allowing the Sharks to score the final three tires of the game.
