Canberra Raiders vs Wests Tigers prediction

It’s been a week of drama behind the scenes at Wests Tigers, headlined by a falling out between Adam Doueihi and Benji Marshall in training which has led to Doueihi making himself unavailable for selection. Clearly all is not well within the Tigers camp and understandably so when considering that they have lost each of their last five games.

Ready to capitalise are Canberra Raiders, who have endured a tough campaign themselves but are finally showing life and in a resounding way. Three straight wins with 98 points accrued in the process is a testament to their progress in recent weeks and against a Tigers team in disarray right now, expect Canberra to extend this recent run of victories.
