Gold Coast Titans vs Canberra Raiders prediction

In a tough league like the NRL, bye-weeks can be worth their weight in gold, so expect a rested and refreshed Gold Coast Titans to come out of the blocks quickly against Canberra Raiders, who are coming off the back of a 33-14 loss at the hands of West Tigers where they were outplayed on both sides of the footy.

The Raiders are capable of beating any team in the league but can be frustratingly inconsistent and are prone to dropping an offensive egg on the road, scoring less than 15 points in two of their last three away fixtures. This opens the door for Gold Coast Titans who should start to take advantage of both their home and fitness advantage the longer play goes on. Backing the Titans represents a smart move.
