THE PREDICTION
Canberra Raiders and Cronulla Sharks will both have high hopes of making the finals this year but it is the Sharks that will be the more confident of the two. They have changed things up with Craig Fitzgibbon taking charge and he has made some impressive signings ahead of his maiden season. The Raiders on the other hand look weaker on paper than they have in recent years and with their backline in particular lacking quality, the Sharks are favoured to edge this opening contest.
