Canberra have a big pack but they're not particularly mobile or skillful. The team as a whole give away more penalties than any other team and their error rate is among the highest in the league, so not a lot of discipline. Their 4 wins were against the current bottom four teams. They were competitive in their losses to the Warriors and Newcastle narrowly losing both games but were flogged by the Bunnies.
I believe we've broken the hoodoo against this mob and can't see any reason we should lose this game if we play as well as we have been so far this year. We've been poor the last two weeks but I think we'll bounce back in a big way on a sunny Autumn arvo in Mudgee. We need a confidence boost before our round 12 clash with the Panthers. Go Saints !

Should win but Canberra are on the up.
Their defence has improved out of sight and they will adopt the same tactics against us as did the Warriors and Souths.
If they can execute that game plan we could find ourselves in a very close tussle.
Rapana, Leilua and Lee are the worry if the get room to move.
I reckon that if we can crack them early on then we will go on and win.
If we are pressing their line and not scoring, we will lose again.
