The Canberra Raiders are set to host a home final in front of their biggest crowd since the season restarted and it comes against the Cronulla Sharks - just like it did four years ago, and just like it did four years before that.

The Green Machine will be spurred on by Meninga Medal winners Josh Papalii and Jack Wighton - but perhaps just as crucial to the Raiders' chances are unsung heroes like Semi Valemei, who is so humble he kept the birth of his daughter a secret from the club.
