Canberra Raiders vs Sydney Roosters Preview
We’ll be treated to the second Grand Final rematch of the year on Saturday, and if it turns out anything like their previous Round 10 encounter, it should be a real treat.
The Raiders famously won 24-20 over the Roosters at the SCG earlier in the year and have gone on to lose only one game since.
Canberra had their hands full against the Bulldogs in the first half last week, but the Green Machine showed tremendous fight to turn things around with four unanswered tries.
Neither of these two teams have been firing on all cylinders lately, which makes the current market seem a little off.
The Roosters are still missing some key players in the form of Luke Keary, Jake Friend, Matt Ikuvalu and Angus Crichton, which makes the current price seem a little under the odds.
When you throw in the fact the Raiders are a perfect 2-0 as the home underdog against the Roosters, suddenly Canberra looks a very good bet here at home.
