Souths bounce back and edge this one.

 

[Raider Azz]

The NRL to do everything in its power to ensure a Souths victory, but the mighty Raiders to defy the odds and win by 6.

 

[natheel]

yeh can see penalties dampening Raiders final experience but i think they are just in to much momentum to be stopped by the souths side that came out against Melbourne, if Souths can get their shit together and play like they did before they had that loss to Cronulla then Souths can win.

I don't see Souths picking up for this game sadly. I'll go Raiders by 8

 

[Noa]

Bunnies wont have a 1st half like they did v the Storm.

10 point win

 

[kia ora storm]

Souths by 4...

 

[Walt Flanigan]

We've won 6 on the trot and I haven't been confident of any of them. Nothing changes this week.

 

[Pete Cash]

Hope papalii doesn't get cited and he spends the game getting under Taylor's skin. Would they be on the same side.

 

[woodyk2]

Souffs by 6

 

[Jason Maher]

Souths by 20. The loss to Melbourne will sting them into action.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Hope papalii doesn't get cited and he spends the game getting under Taylor's skin. Would they be on the same side.

Unless Papalii is going to play Wing he won't see Taylor

Unfortunately I think souths will get up here, then we'll have to hear all the shit from their fans for a week before they get their arse handed to them by the dogs.

Either way I think it will be an entertaining game.

 

[benntash]

I'm fairly sure Souths havnt won against a top 8 team since they won against the Raiders in round 12.. Raiders are a better team now and a starting to click. Souths losing trend to continue and the green machine to get up by 10

 

[BranVan3000]

Not confident at all

Both King and Merritt out. Sandor Earl cold have a field day

 

[Hutty1986]

Not confident at all

Both King and Merritt out. Sandor Earl cold have a field day

That is a very under-used sentence

 

[Earl]

Considering Canberra is a Top 8 side i'm going to say Canberra 1 - 12.

 

[Wato]

Souths should win this but the more I think about it the more I like the Raiders. Raiders have all the momentum and Souths have really stumbled into the finals, plus Souths seem to have a problem outwide as Tahu/Gagai and then Melbourne showed. If you can play Souths up the middle and then move it wide you will trouble them similar to Cronulla.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Well I hope this "Souths can't beat a Top 8" talk continues. Rugby League superstitions have been working in our favor of late.

 

[ceagle]

Croker has been ruled out with a broken cheeckbone

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Sh*t.

 

[Proud2BeCanberran]

Sh*t.
