Tips<\/p>\n
Feels like both sides are far from their best at the moment but I’m a Raider at heart so I have to go Canberra. If they can replicate even a bit of the Warriors’ forwards physicality from last week it’ll go a long way to getting the win.<\/p>\n
Let’s say Canberra by ten with Joseph Tapine to score first.<\/p>\n

Turbo goes down as Manly thrash Cows<\/p>\n
ICYMI here’s the skinny from the game last night. Still no word on the extent of Trbojevic’s injury but he would have gone for scans today.<\/p>\n

Last time they met<\/p>\n
Canberra only played Melbourne once last year but it was one of the games of the season. The Kaeo Weekes try still brings the house down every time.<\/p>\n

Final teams: Raiders vs Storm<\/p>\n
A few changes for the Raiders. Ata Mariota starts at prop and Zac Hosking at second row with Josh Papalii and Noah Martin going back to the bench. Simi Sasagi will play left centre with Matt Timoko earning a recall at right centre.<\/p>\n
Just one change for the Storm with Nick Meaney going to the wing and Manaia Waitere switching to centre.<\/p>\n
