Melbourne Storm vs Canberra Raiders Preview
The Raiders are on the edge of the eight, but they have understandably opened as rank outsiders in betting ahead of their Thursday night meeting with the Storm.
Simply put, the Storm are the best team in the league, and I personally cannot picture a team beating them again in 2021.
They enter this match off the back of a tough win over a very credible Manly side and there is no doubt that this is a sizeable drop in class.
The Raiders’ have been poor more often than not, but they did return to winning form at the expense of a similarly disappointing Dragons outfit in Round 21.
Overall, it looks to be a pretty open and shut case.
