Canberra Raiders vs Cronulla Sharks Preview
The Raiders and the Sharks will renew their rivalry on Friday evening and betting suggests that this could be one of the tighter contests of the week.
The Raiders were often plagued by injury during their 2021 campaign and ultimately, it cost them a finals berth. The struggle with maintaining a serviceable halves pairing could also be a memory in 2022 with former Titans captain Jamal Fogarty’s signature, while the return of popular winger Nic Cotric has also excited fans.
The Sharks were another frustrating club in 2021, often losing games against lowly opposition while pushing some of the league’s best all the way in other weeks. They too missed a finals berth, but their offseason signing drive has been good, and is highlighted by Nicho Hynes.
I personally cannot split them, and I am going to stay away from match betting.
