NRL Rugby - Rabbitohs v Canberra Raiders
The Raiders have been on fire in recent weeks but this is their true test as this game is not in Canberra and it is also against a side that really they should beat,the Raiders have shown some outstanding footy of late and have really not allowed their opposition to even get into their games and that has seen them rack up some huge numbers in recent weeks but this is a game that should see them keep it tight and not be overly expansive as the Bunnies showed last week that they are going to finish this season on a high regardless of where they wind up on the table.
The Bunnies played well last week but it was against a side who were not playing their best in Manly,the Bunnies showed a willingness to go wide and that could work against the Raiders as both of these sides love to attack the flanks but really I look at both these sides and the Raiders can do anything the Bunnies can and although the Bunnies won last week i do not think tyey can back that up this week with any sucess,the Bunnies still allowed the Eagles points last week and had to score more than the Eagles to win that game and Manly really helped them to that win also,I doubt the Raiders will be as friendly.
Recent results and the Raiders have won 4 of the last 6 between the 2 sides,the Raiders though have only lost one of their last 3 when playing away to the Bunnies but even when they win it has been very close and I expect that to happen in this game also.
I see Peopkle are expecting the Raiders to crush the Bunnies and really show what they have to offer,I tend to think that a win is good enough for the Raiders and that they will be happy just getting the 2 points,the Bunnies have shown that they will throw the ball around and that means that against this Raiders side that they will score points and leak them,I think the Raiders can win this big but I don't think they will and the Bunnies will keep it close,for me this will be the most exciting game of the round...take the Raiders by 12 points or less....Good Luck.
