The wiki factor will loom large over the Warriors' visit to Canberra tomorrow.
Ruben will want to prove his worth to his new club and that he's still committed to his existing one.
Wiki has an uncanny knack of scoring tries against the Warriors, notching one when the home sidelost 22-14 at Ericsson two months ago. He also scored against them in Wellington last year and in round play in 2002.
The last four games between the two teams have been decided by eight or fewer points, with Canberra still bearing a grudge over the 17-16 semifinal defeat in 2003.
But the Warriors haven't won at Canberra since 1997.
The Raiders are 4-1 in games between the teams in the Australian capital and the home team have won six, lost two there this season as opposed to the Warriors' away record of won two, lost seven.
Tony Kemp is yet to win away from Ericsson Stadium.
Daniel Anderson, who took the Warriors for 11 games before he was replaced prior to the last encounter between these teams, had recorded three wins, over Manly and Souths away and the Storm at Ericsson.
The Warriors had already been beaten by the four sides now leading the competition.
Kemp has been in charge for seven games for three wins, four losses. The real test is to come, however. So far he's faced the lesser lights - no top-four sides - but looming after the Raiders tie are Brisbane, the Roosters and the Bulldogs, plus the improving Dragons.
The Raiders will field two players who haven't played top grade for some time. Halfback/hooker Brad Drew returns to the bench after suffering a calf tear against the Sharks in June. And prop Michael Weyman's last premiership game was against the Warriors in the 2003 semifinal.
Their captain, Simon Woolford, remains under a cloud with a shoulder injury but was telling everyone he was confident of playing.
* Mt Albert's Bartercard Cup coach, Brian McClennan, is likely to be appointed assistant Kiwis coach for the Tri-Nations series.
