Preview:
The Green Machine is rolling this season, winning four from five, with their only loss against the undefeated Melbourne Storm. They host a backs-to-the-wall Broncos side on Sunday afternoon in Canberra, with Brisbane reeling at 1-4. Back rower Joe Tapine has had no luck with injuries for the Raiders and he is their only change, with JJ Collins his replacement. A hallmark for the Raiders this season has been their defence, with just 44 points conceded in five games, including two shutouts. The Broncos three-game losing streak hasn’t forced drastic changes to the squad. James Roberts has been named as a reserve and could inject a spark into the Broncos attack. They were beaten at the hooter by the Tigers as Michael Chee Kam sliced through the defence to score a late try. It is the second home game in a row they have been beaten at the death, after losing to the Dragons by a point. The Raiders are not as short in head-to-head betting as The Wolf expected, but their six game losing streak against the Broncs may have something to do with that. They last beat Brisbane in 2013 by a 30-18 scoreline, conceding 20+ points in their six prior losses. A stronger defence and a more balanced squad this season has them looking a top four fancy and they should dispatch the Broncos, despite the northerners desperation.
