THE PREDICTION
Newcastle Knights have been hit by more off-field drama this week and it could be tough for them to overcome. They have won just one of their last six after going down to Brisbane Broncos and now face a Canberra Raiders outfit that need to win to keep their season alive. The away side edged an important clash with St. George Illawarra Dragons to stay in touch of the top eight but they must keep winning if they are to overhaul one of the teams above them. The Raiders have won four of their last five and with so much at stake against an out-of-form opponent, they have to be fancied to prevail once again.
