Canterbury Bulldogs v Canberra Raiders
Saturday Night, ANZ Stadium
Both teams locked on eight points. Both teams come into this game on the back of heart-breaking losses. Both teams will be up for a fight in what proves to be arguably the game of the round.
The Bulldogs went down in the final minutes against the Tigers last week and following news that five-eighth Josh Reynolds will be leaving the club at the end of the season, there's sure to be some added motivation this week for Des Hasler's men.
The Raiders lost to Manly in golden point last week and come in with an extra two days of rest which could prove to be decisive in the final 20 minutes of this game.
This game will be decided in the halves, as both combinations have been relatively inconsistent so far this season. While Canberra have had little trouble finding the try line, they'll come up against the typically sturdy Des Hasler defence in what will be a big test for the green machine.
We expect the Raiders to face that test head on and come out on top.
Raiders by 8.
