View our preview and teams for the game between Wests Tigers and Canberra Raiders.

When: 16:10 | Sunday 17/06/2018

Where: Campbelltown Sports Stadium, Sydney

Preview:

The new captain and halves pairing of Josh Reynolds and Luke Brooks last week seemed to work fine and I expect that to continue this week against the most underwhelming team for mine.

So much talent from time to time yet they always find a way to shooting themselves in the foot.

The Raiders need to muster together somehow and scrape tooth and nail for a victory.

Josh Papalii last week was a brilliant and is in great touch.

I would actually have him starting prop for Queensland in game 2.

He’ll be looking for another big one to try and inspire his side.

He needs a little bit more help though, considering this one is at Campbelltown.

KEY BATTLE: Esan Marsters v Jarrod Croker

The matchup of Marsters, who is in great from and provides so much in particular 2nd phase for the Tigers, against the experienced captain Croker who himself is a very underrated player, will be a beauty.

The Verdict

There are some rotten road trips in the NRL but nothing more daunting than a packed stadium at Campbelltown in winter.

Although i will be on Canberra at the price.

The Tigers have a 6-3 (66.7 percent) O/U record playing as a home team with a handicap range of -0.5 to -3.5 since 2011.

Star hooker Josh Hodgson has been rushed back into Canberra’s team as the Raiders look to keep their NRL season alive.

The English international has been recovering from an ACL injury suffered in last year’s World Cup.

Hodgson is straight back into the starting line-up for Canberra’s clash with West Tigers on Sunday, with back-up No.9 Siliva Havili relegated to the bench.
