Newcastle carries a nine-game hot streak into its finals showdown with the Raiders, who just scraped into the finals. Follow live.
Newcastle is possibly the form team of the comp outside the Panthers and Broncos thanks to its nine-game winning streak heading into the finals.
It was enough to rocket them up to fifth after they were 14th following a loss to Penrith in round 17, going from a 5-9 win-loss record to 14 wins from 23 games. That run included two massive wins over the Bulldogs and victories over the Tigers, Dolphins and Dragons, so it wasn't the toughest run home, but there were also victories over the Storm, Sharks and today's opponent.The Raiders faced top-eight teams in five of their last seven games and dropped all of them, including their season-ender against Cronulla, only beating battlers Canterbury and Wests in the past two months.
