As if a grand final rematch wasn't interesting enough, the expected return of Sonny Bill Williams adds another layer to a clash that will have a big bearing on the top four.
The Roosters are tipped to travel to Canberra with some precious cargo including Williams, who last played NRL in 2014, and potentially other stars who have been in the casualty ward.
With the Roosters (fourth) and Raiders (fifth) both on 22 points, the outcome could determine whether these sides will be afforded a second bite of the cherry come finals time.
Canberra, who are on a three-match win streak, exacted some revenge for last year's premiership defeat when they claimed a famous 24-20 win over the Tricolours in round 10 despite being undermanned.
But the Roosters, who have also had injuries, look to be peaking again after belting the Tigers and Broncos in consecutive weeks.
