THE TEAM NEWS
CRONULLA SHARKS
- Cronulla Sharks were extremely poor last week as they were swept aside by Wests Tigers and they will be desperate to produce a response here.
- The Sharks only managed six points in the meek display and head coach Craig Fitzgibbon has been forced into changes in his pack here with Dale Finucane, Royce Hunt and Toby Rudolf all ruled out with injuries.
Starting 13: 1. William Kennedy 2. Sione Katoa 3. Jesse Ramien 4. Kayal Iro 5. Ronaldo Mulitalo 6. Braydon Trindall 7. Nicho Hynes 8. Thomas Hazelton 9. Blayke Brailey 10. Oregon Kaufusi 11.

CANBERRA RAIDERS
- Canberra Raiders were beaten for the first time this season as they failed to hold onto a lead in the final 20 minutes of their game with New Zealand Warriors.
- It was another solid showing from the Raiders and they are boosted here with the return of Sebastian Kris in the centres while James Schiller makes his first appearance of the season.
Starting 13: 1. Jordan Rapana 2. James Schiller 3. Matthew Timoko 4. Sebastian Kris 5. Xavier Savage 6. Ethan Strange 7. Jamal Fogarty 8. Josh Papali'i 9. Danny Levi 10. Joseph Tapine 11.

THE PREDICTION
These two teams both suffered their first loss of the season in their respective matches last week and will be eager to bounce back. Cronulla Sharks were extremely poor in their game with Wests Tigers and now come into this with some huge issues in the pack. They have lost a lot of experience and quality because of injuries and Canberra Raiders will feel they have enough to get the job done on the road, although they should be backed with a start on the handicap.
TIP: CANBERRA RAIDERS +8
