10th: Canberra Raiders

Canberra are one of the sides I most look forward to watching each and every weekend. Whether they are the Green Machine of old, or are being walked all over, their games usually feature plenty of points.

Jordan Rapana is one of the most exciting players in the competition, while Austin, Sezer and Hodgson are brilliant fun to watch.

I certainly wouldn’t be placing any large amount of money on a Raiders result anytime soon, nor would I be backing, or betting against, any of the Raiders back three catching or dropping the next high kick.

I think they’re good enough to plays final footy but not to challenge the big four. They’re another side, much like the Dragons, who can produce two extreme opposite performances in a matter of days.

They’ll finish higher than the 10th I placed them pre-season, but won’t be top six.

Updated Prediction: 7th
