Preview:
The Canberra Raiders can move to 3-1 with a win against a desperate Cowboys side, who will be looking to avoid being 1-3 after four rounds when the two teams clash on Saturday afternoon. Canberra beat the Cows in Townsville last season 18-8, notching their first win up north since 2006. A 17-10 win against Newcastle in round three doesn’t reflect their dominance and the green machine deserved to win by much more. The Cowboys took a lead into half time against Cronulla, but that was short lived as the Sharks piled on six tries to one in the second half in a 26-point hammering. A week is a long time in footy and The Wolf knows the Cowboys have a veteran side that won’t be thinking about last weekend. It’s hard to make a case for backing them based on their last two games without spearhead Jason Taumololo though, so it’s the Raiders in this one.
