Referees: Gerard Sutton; Sideline Officials: Drew Oultram, Phil Henderson; Video Referees: Matt Noyen;

Not much has split these two teams with three of the last four games decided by two points, however Canberra hold the edge winning five of the last seven games.

PREDICTION.

For me, it’s Canberra in front of the home crowd and after their gutsy win against the Broncos last week. Canberra minus 4.5 points @ $1.85

If you love the Dragons try, plus 7.5 @$1.71
