Hi and welcome to League Unlimited's Live Update of tonight's Top 4 blockbuster between the Sharks and Raiders. The Sharks shoot for 17 straight undefeated, but will have to do so without Mick Ennis, who is out with illness. He is replaced by Matt McIlwrick with Fa'amanu Brown coming onto the bench. Canberra, on the other hand, have no such issues and are 1-17.
