Raiders
Tigers
Preview
Wests travel to the nation’s capital on Sunday having lost four of their last five at the venue including a 60-6 drubbing in the corresponding match last season.
The Raiders are coming off two rather forgettable performances to begin the season and will be looking to get their names on the winner’s sheet for the first time in 2017.
Jarrod Croker and Dave Taylor return for the green machine which should add a little more polish to the Raiders attack on Sunday afternoon. The Tigers meanwhile will be looking to atone for their try-less performance against the Panthers last weekend however it is hard to see them stopping the home side.
