Canberra Raiders vs Cronulla Sharks Preview
An intriguing clash awaits on Saturday afternoon as the Raiders, fresh off the back of one of their strongest performances of the season, host the consistent Cronulla Sharks in the nation’s capital.
It was effective early, ugly in parts but ultimately, the Raiders were clear and deserving winners over the Sea Eagles, and it was enough to breathe life into their dwindling finals prospects.
They should welcome back most of their stars this week, and a chilly match in Canberra is always a difficult prospect for Sydney clubs.
The Sharks did enough to see off the Warriors in Round 17, climbing into the top eight in the process, and they are well and truly now looking the most likely of the four or five clubs hovering around eighth position to actually win their way into the finals.
I’m going to have to see more from the Raiders before I can trust them, and I am going to take the Sharks to cover a small line as favourites.
