Key Matchup
Joseph Leilua v Latrell Mitchell. It’s been a hot and cold season for Leilua and a quiet month other than the try he scored over the Eels last week. The Origin snub could bring out the best in him and he’ll be looking to get a points decision over the Roosters youngster Latrell Mitchell. Mitchell was simply outstanding in the win over the Bulldogs this week and will need to keep his cool against Leilua who will try and niggle him. The absence of Pearce hurts Mitchell’s prospects here, but it will be a good learning curve for the youngster who was dropped to the Wyong Roos earlier in the season.

Final Thoughts
The Wolf is chips in on the Roosters for the premiership, but they’re simply missing too many troops to win this contest. The Raiders are tough at home and have the more settled line-up. Take the overs and the Raiders to cover.
