The Raiders will look to claim back their place in the top four when they travel to the Gold Coast to meet with the Cowboys.

Having ended their perfect home record after going down to the Knights on Saturday, Darrin Borthwick's side have just two matches to secure a prized place in the top-four.

Sitting on equal competition points with the Broncos but down on differential and just one win behind the third-placed Titans, the Raiders have a serious opportunity to play finals footy in their inaugural season if they can get back to the winners circle in the penultimate round.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys have now slumped to three consecutive losses, a run which has all but ruled them out of finals contention.

But having unveiled a host of rookies and Kirra Dibb and Tahlulah Tillett still settling into their new halves pairing, Ben Jeffries will be hoping his side can continue to build in the final two rounds and end their inaugural season on a more positive note.
