Three Things You Should Know

• Both sides will be eager to earn their first win of the season and kick start their premiership pushes after tough opening losses. The Sharks are still without Valentine Holmes and the Raiders without Joe Tapine.
• The Raiders were unlucky to lose a bitter 20-16 golden-point thriller against the Cowboys in Townsville.
• The Sharks were outclassed at home and travel to Canberra where they have won their last three games including last year’s thrilling 16-14 victory in Week One of the Finals.
