Canberra Raiders vs Cronulla Sharks Preview
The Sharks are finding form at the right time and have taken five of their last six to get themselves back into the top eight.
Last week’s surprise win over the undermanned Sea Eagles notwithstanding, the Raiders have been largely awful in recent weeks with just three wins from their last 12 games.
Not to mention that when the Raiders lose, they tend to lose by a lot in recent weeks, three of their last four defeats have been by at least 24 points.
For that reason, the 2.5 point line seems far too small and I’ll happily jump on that value for this game.
