Boom, boom, CLAP! Everyone's doing it. And if you're not in time with the drums, everyone will know you're just a bandwagon supporter.
Boom, boom, CLAP! You'll see it everywhere. Real Canberra Raiders fans do it on the buses going to the game. On the light rail. In the Canberra Stadium car park. Right before kick-off. And hopefully after a win.
Boom, boom, CLAP! What's that? You've never heard of the Viking clap?
Boom, boom, CLAP! Well lucky for you, this is the Canberra Raiders bandwagon guide. It's an A-Z guide to make you look like an expert. All the details of the Green Machine's best season in 25 years. And by the time you finish, you'll be joining the lime green lunatics who do the Viking clap wherever they go.
The Raiders bandwagon is full this week. About 28,000 seats sold out in less than 24 hours for the first home preliminary final in history. It's set to be the biggest Raiders crowd on record.
Boom, boom, CLAP! And make sure you remember, Jarrod Croker is the co-captain. Not Jason Croker. Or Jarrod Crocker.
THE A-Z GUIDE OF 2019
Here's all the handy facts you need to know to impress those sitting next to you, or some good knowledge bombs to drop before you leave work on Friday afternoon.
Away record: The Raiders have been known to be kings of Canberra, but duds on the road. That changed this year. The Raiders won nine of 12 away from the capital, and six from 12 at home, to finish fourth on the ladder.
Bateman's brilliance: John Bateman has been perhaps the find of the year. The English recruit is one of the toughest in the NRL. He had a rough childhood, became a dad at 15 years old and has been known to throw a few punches. But don't be fooled, he's got a soft side. When he's not on the field, he's a gentle giant.
Cotric's roller coaster: Winger Nick Cotric has endured a whirlwind season - from a State of Origin debut to his first major injury and a suspension. The latter came when he was sent off for a dangerous tackle in round 17. He became the first player to be sent off this year and no one has followed since. It was a pretty harsh call. Penalty yes. Send off ... Tell him he's dreaming.
Dunamis Lui: The city is lit up in lime green but the unsung hero of Canberra's rise into the top four isn't one to go seeking the limelight. Lui quietly goes about his business in one of the competition's best forwards packs.
Englishmen: Four Englishmen walk into a football club. What happens next? We're about to find out. Josh Hodgson and Elliott Whitehead have long been NRL stars - now John Bateman and Ryan Sutton have emerged as key parts in their title charge.
Field goals: Aidan Sezer knew it as soon as the ball left his boot and sailed between the posts into the Monty Porter Stand. The Raiders halfback hit three clutch field goals to steal a 15-14 golden point triumph over the Cronulla Sharks in a pulsating shootout to book Canberra's long-awaited return to the top four.
Green, green and more green: Green sausages, green cocktails, green buildings and green bread. Canberra has gone nuts for the Raiders and this is the only time of year putting a green sausage on green bread is acceptable. Mooseheads has turned green and introduced its own Raiderade cocktail and The Dock at Kingston has Papalii Punch.
Home final history: The last remaining tickets were snapped up in six minutes to make Canberra's first home preliminary final a sell-out. The Raiders are on the cusp of breaking the rugby league attendance record at Canberra Stadium. Chances to make a grand final don't come much bigger.
Improved defence: A wry grin stretches across Josh Papalii's face when he thinks about assistant coach Andrew McFadden's ruthless approach designed to plug leaks in the Green Machine. Canberra conceded the fifth-most points in the competition last year - now they're the second best in defence.
Jack to five-eighth: A pre-season gamble has paid off in a huge way with Jack Wighton's move into the halves bolstering Canberra's defence and adding another dimension in attack. Wighton's journey has been rocky to say the least - but he is making the most of his second chance.
Knockers: There were plenty of them, and the Raiders are proving them all wrong. Few could have envisioned the club hosting a preliminary final this season - many doubted they would even make the top eight. Look at them now.
Leilua and the fireworks: Everyone keeps asking Joey Leilua's eye. The one that came off second best when he ran under a machine spewing sparks and smoke two weeks ago. Something shot out of it, got stuck in his eye and almost forced him out of a game. Now "if I see them, I am walking the other way. I am not running through that tunnel if I see fireworks".
Moving headquarters: The Raiders will be based in a new centre of excellence in Braddon next year - just a Jarrod Croker goal kick away from the heart of the city. The $19 million facility will include an indoor training area, gym, recovery centre, 85-seat theatrette and office space for staff and the football department.
Nicoll-Klokstad: Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad rolled the dice when he came to Canberra with so little guaranteed. Now the bloke who struggled to get a start in New Zealand he is a contender for the NRL's fullback of the year award. He may just be one of the best blokes you will ever meet as well.
Origin: Winners make representative teams - and that's exactly why the Raiders finally had more on the big stage this season. Jack Wighton and Nick Cotric became the Raiders' first NSW representatives since 2013 while Josh Papalii starred for Queensland. Not since 2010 had the club boasted three players in one State of Origin game.
Papalii wins his third Meninga Medal: Ask Sia Soliola and he will tell you Josh Papalii epitomises what it is to be a Raider. Put that to the man himself and he will shrug it off with a sheepish grin - but Papalii's third Meninga Medal sees him draw level with Ricky Stuart with Laurie Daley the only man to claim more player of the year awards.
Queensland opening round win sets the tone: We should have known. Flashes of attacking brilliance, Aidan Sezer kicking field goals, a defensive masterclass and a win on the road. A 21-0 win on the Gold Coast in round one was a nod to the future.
Record-setting captain: Jarrod Croker is the club's leading point-scorer and try-scorer. Better yet, he is on track to finish his career with the most points in competition history. But he would trade them all in for a premiership ring.
Stuart's aiming to start a dynasty: The Raiders mentor is determined to build something special in Canberra having signed a contract extension running until the end of 2023. Stuart says "it's important from my position as head coach that we create longevity in the standing of being this strong, competitive club."
The fiery redhead: Corey Horsburgh quickly emerged as a cult hero when he locked horns with Sam Burgess earlier this season. The rookie forward certainly isn't one to back down from a challenge and he doesn't mind the niggle.
Uniting the city: We've got green snags, green bread, green beards, green lights and crowds are growing. There is nothing quite like the buzz around town when the Green Machine is rolling.
Viking Clap: Josh Hodgson says it sends tingles down his spine. Joey Leilua thinks it is one of the best things about running onto the park in Canberra. The pre-game tradition has quickly become one of the highlights of the match-day experience and it will be absolutely booming on Friday night.
Wagga Wagga: The Raiders found a home away from home when they struck a two-year deal to take a game to Wagga Wagga. It is a way for the club to connect with regional areas - for they regard themselves as the country club. It did cost them $150,000 to shift the game, but probably money well spent.
X-rays and injuries: Ricky Stuart just wanted his side to keep chipping away and pick up the odd win or two to stay in touch with the title contenders. Fair enough given he was without John Bateman (eye socket), Joey Leilua (neck), Jordan Rapana (shoulder, rib, knee), Joe Tapine (thumb, ankle, rib) and Josh Hodgson (thumb) at stages throughout the year. They've done more than that.
Young suspensions: Hudson Young's hopes of playing finals football in his debut season were left in tatters when he was handed an eight-game ban for dangerous contact near the eyes of a rival player - who says he "didn't feel anything at all". It came after he served a five-game ban for an eye gouge.
Zero: Not convinced about Canberra's ability to shut down the opposition? The Raiders' green wall held their opposition to zero points three times this season.
IF YOU WANT TO DIG A LITTLE DEEPER...
THE VIKING CLAP
Once you start, you can't stop. Raiders fans have loved it since it was introduced at home games at the end of 2016.
The preliminary final on Friday night is the first chance for the Green Machine army to use it in a final at home in the past three years.
Stand up with hands high in the sky, wait for the beat of the drum and then clap. It's easy. Get faster and faster with the drum and then cheer when the team runs on to the field.
Important tip: When you clap you have to let out an audible groan.
If the Raiders win, don't leave your seat at the final whistle. Wait until Sia Soliola finds the drum in the crowd and you'll get an extra celebration Viking clap before you go home.
HOW TO CHEER
Easy. Just yell: 'Get him onside!' Or, 'He's been doing it all day, ref!'. You'll fit right in with anyone around you. You might even get a few high fives or nods in agreement.
Raiders fans are passionate, so you have to be up and out of your seat. If you're not sure what's going on, repeat one of the above lines.
HISTORY LESSON
It's been 25 years since the Raiders played in a grand final - one of the leanest periods in the NRL.
Their three premierships were in 1989, 1990 and 1994. Some of the greats played in that era.
Think Mal Meninga, Ricky Stuart (who's now the coach), Laurie Daley, Brad Clyde, Gary Belcher, Glenn Lazarus, John 'Chicka' Ferguson.
Mention anyone of those names and you'll instantly be accepted. Just don't get drawn into a debate about which grand final win was the best.
The first in 1989 was the moment Canberra changed forever. A lime green fever hit the city. The grand final that year is regarded as the greatest of all time.
Going back to back in 1990 was an impressive feat as well and 1994 gave big Mal the sort of send off all champions deserve.
