No real team news to speak of for either side, Penrith are as named on Tuesday, while the Raiders have just one change with Adam Clydsdale omitted in favour of Kurt Baptiste.
Plenty of jackets, jumpers, beanies and gloves in Bathurst with the cold setting in ahead of kickoff. Both sides are wearing their traditional jerseys - Penrith with the black kit featuring the licorice allsorts, Canberra in the lime green. Not far off a start as the teams leave those small dressing rooms.
