Penrith Panthers vs Canberra Raiders prediction
Penrith Panthers responded well to their loss vs Brisbane Broncos with a much-needed 18-24 win away at Parramatta Eels. Without that victory, they would’ve kick off here having been knocked off the top of the NRL table by Sydney Roosters, who have already won in this round of games to draw level on points with Ivan Cleary’s side.
Canberra Raiders are a mid-table team, the type capable of a big performance but have been unable to string together positive results on a consistent basis across the season. When coming up against teams of Penrith’s quality, you often see the likes of Canberra get exposed and that makes backing the Panthers throughout a sensible play in this one.
