Canberra found one of the biggest wins of their NRL season on Thursday night, and they didn't even have to take the field.Parramatta's 53-6 thumping of Brisbane means the Raiders will end the weekend in the top eight for the first time since round three should they take care of Manly at GIO Stadium on Saturday afternoon.Instead of going in needing a big win to try and chase a point-differential boost, the Broncos' capitulation means the Raiders already have the superior tie-breaker and can concentrate on simply beating the Sea Eagles for just the third time in their 11 meetings.Raiders coach Ricky Stuart admitted it was a huge boost for the team, and hoped his players used it as motivation for their final home game of the year."You guys have asked me every week some type of question or scenario about the competition ... rugby league is a funny game and there's still probably more twists and turns yet," he told reporters on Friday.
