THE TEAM NEWS

SYDNEY ROOSTERS

• Sydney Roosters earned a relieving victory over Newcastle Knights as they edged a tense contest last week and they will be desperate to build on that as they host Canberra Raiders.
• Much has been made of the form of the Roosters with just two wins in their last six games but with Joey Manu reverting to the centres, Trent Robinson will hope that switch can lead to some better performances while Victor Radley is back at lock after serving a ban.

Starting 13: Tedesco, Tupou, Bi. Smith, Manu, Pauga, Keary, S. Smith, Waerea-Hagreaves, Turpin, Collins, E. Butcher, Tupouniua, Radley – Interchanges: Crichton, Brown, N. Butcher, Whyte – Reserves: May, Hutchison, Allan, Paulo, Dockar-Clay

Unavailable: Connor Watson (Injured), Paul Momirovski (Injured), Sam Walker (Injured), Brandon Smith (Injured), Joseph Suaalii (Suspended)

CANBERRA RAIDERS

• Canberra Raiders were poor in defeat as they went down to New Zealand Warriors in convincing fashion last time out but will hope their bye week has allowed them to correct that performance.
• The Raiders lost for just the second time in nine matches in that contest and Ricky Stuart has opted to avoid hitting the panic button with the same 17 named from the Warriors clash.

Starting 13: Kris, Hopoate, Croker, Timoko, Rapana, Wighton, Fogarty, Papali’i, Woolford, Tapine, Young, Whitehead, Horsburgh – Interchanges: Starling, Guler, Cotric, Saulo – Reserves: Frawley, Savage, Mariota, Levi, Hola

Unavailable: Adrian Trevilyan (Injured), Corey Harawira-Naera (Injured), Harley Smith-Shields (Injured)

THE PREDICTION

Sydney Roosters claimed a confidence-boosting success against Newcastle Knights but they need to back it up as they take on Canberra Raiders. The Tricolours have lacked consistency all season but a reshuffle of their side could lead to a better run of results. They will find it tough going here as they take on a Canberra Raiders side that have won seven of their last nine. This could go either way but recent form gives the Raiders the edge so they are the slight preference here.
