The Canberra Raiders will look to hit the ground running after enjoying a week off when they host the North Queensland Cowboys in the NRL on Friday night.
Canberra, who sit fifth in the standings and are aiming a playoff position this season, won their most recent encounter against the Redcliffe Dolphins in a 25-25 deadlock, with Raiders fullback Jordan Rapana scoring the decisive point in extra time.
The Cowboys, meanwhile, occupy 12th place on the table and will be eager to get back to winning ways after their three-game winning streak was snapped last week as they were thrashed 42-12 by the New Zealand Warriors in Round 14.
