New Zealand Warriors vs Canberra Raiders Preview
The match of the round could incredibly materialise across the ditch first-up on Friday when the Warriors host the Raiders.
The Warriors have been the real revelation of the 2023 NRL Premiership season, and they step out in Round 21 follow a demolition job of fellow Top 6 side Cronulla. All the pieces finally appear to be falling into place, and they are fitting favourites again this week.
The Raiders have also far and away exceeded expectations in 2023, and they incredibly sit fourth on the ladder after 20 Rounds. They have rarely dropped a game, and while never flashy, they almost always do enough to win. That’s all that’s needed!
I’ve predicted the Warriors to play a Prelim this season, and they do need to win games like this one to give themselves every chance of doing that!
