Raiders team:
1. Sebastian Kris 2. Nick Cotric 3. Matthew Timoko 4. Harley Smith-Shields 5. Albert Hopoate 6. Jack Wighton 7. Jamal Fogarty 8. Pasami Saulo 9. Danny Levi 10. Joseph Tapine 11. Hudson Young 12. Elliott Whitehead 13. Corey Harawira-Naera 14. Tom Starling 15. Trey Mooney 16. Corey Horsburgh 17. Emre Guler 18. Zac Woolford 19. Matt Frawley 20. James Schiller 21. Semi Valemei 22. Peter Hola
The Raiders will play their first home game this year with two losses, and will be desperate not to make it three in a row. The Raiders have won the last eight against the Sharks which will give them confidence. Only one change from last week with Trey Mooney on the bench in place of the injured Ata Mariota.
Sharks Team:
1. William Kennedy 2. Sione Katoa 3. Jesse Ramien 4. Siosifa Talakai 5. Ronaldo Mulitalo 6. Matt Moylan 7. Braydon Trindall 8. Toby Rudolf 9. Blayke Brailey 10. Braden Hamlin-Uele 11. Briton Nikora 12. Teig Wilton 13. Dale Finucane 14. Cameron McInnes 15. Royce Hunt 16. Oregon Kaufusi 17. Jack Williams 18. Connor Tracey 19. Thomas Hazelton 20. Mawene Hiroti 21. Jayden Berrell 22. Daniel Atkinson
The Sharks will enter this week after a gutsy win over the Eels, however there is concern as they’ve conceded the most points and committed the fourth most errors through two rounds. Only one change for the Sharks on the bench, with Jack Williams replacing Connor Tracey.
Prediction:
I think the Sharks will be favorite here but I like the Raiders at home. They are a tough side to beat and coach Ricky Stuart will have them primed for this event. After two losses the players will get a rocket. The weather will be hot as well as a heat wave covers Australia at the moment. This will be close so be prepared and bet wisely.
Raiders plus 6.5 points @ $1.64, Nick Cotric any time try scorer @ $2.45, OR, if you are a Sharks fan plus 0.5 points @ $1.57, Ronaldo Mulitalo, any time try scorer @ $1.73
There are better odds around if you are brave, but early in the season I like to win and bet with my winnings.
