Newcastle Knights vs Canberra Raiders Preview
The resurgent Raiders are back in action on Saturday evening, and they are offered another terrific opportunity to win when they face the Knights.
They were down and out less than a month ago, and while I personally need to see a couple more wins before I believe they’re back, it certainly appears as though they are on the correct course.
Their win over a depleted Manly was franked with subsequent efforts to sink the Sharks and the Eels, and a repeat of last week’s performance particularly would find them hard to beat
The Knights would need to improve noticeably to make the 2021 NRL Finals, and probably also just to compete in this match.
Happy to ride the green wave again.
