THE TEAM NEWS
CANBERRA RAIDERS
- Canberra Raiders produced a disappointing performance as they suffered their first loss of the season at the hands of North Queensland Cowboys last week and they face a tall order to right the wrongs of that performance.
- There were plenty of worrying aspects of the Raiders’ effort in that matchup and while they have Jordan Rapana and Brad Schneider back in the side, they are still without a handful of players due to injury.
Starting 13: Nicoll-Klokstad, Rapana, Timoko, Valemei, Kris, Wighton, Schneider, Papalii, Starling, Tapine, Young, Harawira-Naera, Whitehead – Interchanges: Frawley, Guler, Elliott, Hosburgh – Reserves: Savage, Sutton
Unavailable: Jamal Fogarty, Harley Smith-Shields, Peter Hola, Josh Hodgson, Nick Cotric
GOLD COAST TITANS
- Gold Coast Titans got the better of New Zealand Warriors last week to get off the mark for the season and they will be eager to build on that as they attempt to produce some consistent performances and subsequently, results.
- Another tilt at the top eight looks to be on the cards for the Titans this season but this is the type of game they must be targeting to win and with Justin Holbrook having the luxury of naming the same 17 for this clash, he will have confidence in his side getting the job done.
Starting 13: Campbell, Sami, Kelly, Herbert, Marzhew, Brimson, Sexton, Fotuaika, Clark, Liu, Fifita, Fermor, Fa’asuamaleaui – Interchanges: Smith, Lisone, Jolliffe, Proctor – Reserves: Ese’ese, Turner
Unavailable: Aaron Booth, Shallin Fuller, Joseph Vuna
THE PREDICTION
Canberra Raiders were perhaps given an insight into life without hooker Josh Hodgson as they struggled to create in their game with North Queensland Cowboys last week, managing just a solitary try in that loss. They will need to improve tenfold in this contest with a Gold Coast Titans outfit that come into this on the back of their first win of the season in round two. They showed glimpses of some impressive ball movement in that matchup and the away side are favoured to make it back-to-back successes.
