Canberra forward Junior Paulo admits the Raiders’ strong 2016 has placed a target on their backs as they search for back-to-back NRL wins for the first time this season.

Opposition teams have put the blowtorch on Paulo and fellow giant prop Shannon Boyd this year and the hulking pair will face another test against Gold Coast at Cbus Super Stadium on Saturday.

“We’ve gone from being hunters to being the hunted,” Paulo said.
