Canberra Raiders vs Newcastle Knights Preview
The Knights might not be in great shape, but they are looking a hell of a lot better than the Raiders at the moment.
I can’t justify how the Raiders are such clear favourites in this market considering they have lost their last four, including a big loss to the Bunnies last weekend.
The Knights will have the ability to really get after Canberra’s vulnerable defence and if this does become a shootout, there’s only one team I’m backing here.
