THE PREDICTION
Canberra Raiders have made a poor start to the campaign after they produced an underwhelming performance which saw them go down to Newcastle Knights last week. That is now three losses in four and things could worsen for them here as they take on reigning premiers Penrith Panthers. The road team have also started the season with just one win but they have faced some quality opposition to date and they should have too much for the hosts in the nation’s capital having beaten them in their past four matchups.
