THE TEAM NEWS
CANBERRA RAIDERS
- Canberra Raiders recorded a second win in succession for the first time this season as they overcame St. George Illawarra Dragons last time out.
- The Raiders will hope to build on that as they aim to make their way up the ladder and they could be boosted by the return of fullback Xavier Savage who has been listed among the reserves.
Starting 13: Kris, Hopoate, Croker, Timoko, Rapana, Wighton, Fogarty, Papali’i, Woolford, Tapine, Young, Whitehead, Horsburgh – Interchanges: Starling, Guler, Saulo, Harawira-Naera – Reserves: Schiller, Schneider, Savage, Mooney, Hola
Unavailable: Adrian Trevilyan (Injured), Ata Mariota (Injured), Danny Levi (Injured), Nick Cotric (Injured), Matt Frawley (Injured)
DOLPHINS
- The Dolphins produced an incredible comeback as they fought back from a 0-26 deficit to score 28 unanswered points and nab an unlikely win against Queensland rivals Gold Coast Titans.
- Wayne Bennett’s side were excellent having started so poorly in that game and will look to build on how they finished that encounter. Kenny Bromwich will be back in their front row having served a one-match ban.
Starting 13: Tabuai-Fidow, Isaako, Aitken, B. Lee, Jennings, Nikorima, Katoa, J. Bromwich, Marshall-King, K. Bromwich, Kaufusi, Lemuelu, Gilbert – Interchanges: Wallace, Nicholls, Stone, Ese’ese – Reserves: Donoghoe, Faamausili, E. Lee, Teague, Milford
Unavailable: Tesi Niu (Injured), Sean O’Sullivan (Injured),
THE PREDICTION
Canberra Raiders will go in search of a third successive victory as they take on the Dolphins. They will take this game to Wagga Wagga against a side that have already defeated them this season and come into this on a real high having fought back from going 0-26 down in their clash with Gold Coast Titans last week. This game could go either way with both believing they can prevail and with that in mind, it is worth siding with the Dolphins who boast a +8 start on the handicap.
