THE PREDICTION
Canberra will hope to go one better this time around after they came agonisingly close to claiming the NRL Premiership last season. They lost out in a thrilling contest with Sydney Roosters but look capable of making another challenge this season. George Williams will need to start strongly as he fills the gap left by Aidan Sezer and although they will be confident of winning this opening game against Gold Coast, the Titans can be competitive in this clash under new head coach Justin Holbrook and they should be able to come out on top with the benefit of a +12.5 start.
