Preview:
First plays third on Sunday as the Roosters take on the Raiders for the first time in 2019.
These two sides treated us to a thriller last season as Canberra walked away with a narrow 14-12 win in Round 23 – adding to their impressive three-game winning streak over the Roosters dating back to 2016.
Sydney are fresh from a blowout win over the Dragons last week that once again highlighted Latrell Mitchell’s special talents. Last year’s Origin star chipped in with a handy hat-trick in the victory, also nailing six of his seven conversion attempts.
The Raiders also had plenty to celebrate on Saturday obliterating the Panthers by 18-points. The victory was made even more impressive considering how little of the ball Canberra received throughout the game.
As the odds suggest, the reigning premiers are favoured by a wide margin this week. This is technically a home game for Sydney, and they’ll rest a little easier knowing the Raiders will be without John Bateman, who suffered a fractured eye socket during last week’s win.
On the flip side, Jordan Rapana looks to return to the side. The Raiders are 7-4 as the line underdog over the last 12 months, and with a winning record against the Roosters, it’s worth taking advantage of this generous line.
