Adelaide Blue Eagles and Adelaide Croatia Raiders will go toe-to-toe across the next two weekends with a place in the Grand Final on the line.
For the Blue Eagles, the equation is simple, keep winning and their hopes of returning to the RAA NPLSA remain alive.
There will be plenty of attacking talent to watch across the tie. Raiders forward Salifu Jatta found the back of the net 12 times during the regular season, while Blue Eagles’ Dante Isla Cacciavillani finished with 11.
With a Grand Final berth and the prospect of promotion getting closer, there will be no shortage of intensity when these two sides meet.
