New Zealand Warriors vs Canberra Raiders Preview
The Warriors do seem very short in this one for a team without a win against an unbeaten side. This game is played in Christchurch so while favouring the Warriors, they still need to travel. The lack of Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad is an issue as well with the Warriors 6-11 against the spread without him v 9-3 against the number with him. Also noteworthy is the fact the Warriors have covered just three of 11 when favoured by more than a converted try. There is no real push for the Raiders and Ricky Stuart has lost his mind pushing Zac Hosking back to the bench but they are worth a bet considering the poor spot the Warriors are in. Canberra can be bet with the plus and in head-to-head betting.
Xavier Savage is a legitimate speedster who has 10 tries in 22 starts but has started to figure out the NRL with tries in six of his last seven games. Addin Fonua-Blake has 10 tries across the last two seasons an excellent return for a prop and he can take advantage of a fairly pedestrian Raiders middle.
