There is all to play for this weekend for both teams, with a spot in the finals up for grabs and a number to remember most of all on Sunday: 12. 

The Titans will know where they stand going into their final round clash against the Raiders on Sunday, but coach Karyn Murphy will have them preparing for a must-win game to avoid the distraction of waiting on other results.

Similarly, the Raiders put themselves back in contention for finals after their big win against the Cowboys, and they must beat the Titans by a margin of at least 12 points to move through to the finals.

Either way, it's been an impressive first season by Darrin Borthwick's side who have defied plenty of critics who questioned if they'd win a game, but having spent most of the season in the top four, missing on finals will feel like a disappointment.
