Over 7. 5 tries.

This looks like an open game between 2 sides that like to throw it around so il go for 8 tries or more.

Bulldogs have a nightmare season after going so well last year. Its hard to understand just why they are on such a bad run because the core of the squad is the same. Some injuries to important players have not helped but 7 defeats in a row is shocking.

This is a team with a lot of quality in attack and to be fair there have been plenty of times this season when we have seen it. But the Dogs rank highest for missed tackles and while they can score points against anyone they can also lose plenty even against an average attack.

Canberra are almost always strong at home. The Raiders do love to play in this cold weather and have shocked plenty of teams in the last few years with the passion and desire they can provide. Their top 8 chances are getting slimmer though so this is really a must win game.

These are 2 sides i always enjoy watching and this is a fixture that has a history of being quite open and high scoring. Dogs still have a lot of quality in their side with Kimmorley and Ennis running things. But also this lad Baba is going to be a star. He has so much pace and such quick feet it can tough to stop him if he finds space. They will score points today for sure.

Canberra have terrific forwards and always entertain at home. Their back 3 is one of the best in the compeition and ofcourse Campese is one of the greatest players in their history. Raiders should get a lot of joy from the offloads and make plenty of breaks but dont count out Dogs because they are still a very dangerous side.
