They tackle the Ipswich Jets at Ipswich at 2.10pm Saturday, with the game to be livestreamed free on Kayo Freebies.
The Capras have in their first four games had one draw and three close losses to be sitting in 13th place on the ladder, one rung ahead of the winless Jets.
In all but one of those games, the Capras have led at half-time but were unable to close them out.

TYLER Szepanowski was sitting on the fence.
He was “torn” after a surprise phone call from new CQ Capras coach Guy Williams, who was just days into taking the helm of the Queensland Cup side.
“I was out for breakfast with my old man (Chris) and Guy gave me a call,” the 21-year-old recalled of the approach to lure the Moranbah product back home to CQ.
“At first I was kind of like ‘nah I’m pretty comfortable here at the (Burleigh) Bears but then I went home that night and sort of thought there might be a bit of merit in it.”

The prospect of more game time in the Intrust Super Cup helped lure Tyler Szepanowski back to his old stamping ground.
The talented forward has signed with the CQ Capras for season 2021, and says he is âpumped asâ to pull on the jersey for the first trial game against Mackay on February 20.
A Moranbah product who went on to captain St Brendanâs College First XIII, Szepanowski was signed by the Gold Coast Titans in 2017.
He has since been impressing with the Burleigh Bears in the Gold Coast Rugby League competition, waiting in the wings for a chance to break into the clubâs star-studded Intrust Super Cup line-up.
