THE PREDICTION
Canberra Raiders have been disappointing through the first two rounds of the campaign and will need to improve if they are to get off the mark in this clash with Cronulla Sharks. The visitors were brilliant last week, especially in attack, and they will be confident of adding another win to the one they claimed against Parramatta Eels. The Raiders are struggling with a couple of key figures sidelined and while they will believe they can get themselves into an arm wrestle with their opponents, the Sharks appear to have that extra quality in their side and should prevail.
