Key Matchup
Martin Taupau v Shannon Boyd. The Wolf can see some fireworks taking place in the engine room here and can’t wait to see Taupau and Boyd take each other on. Taupau has been sensational for the Sea Eagles this season, offloading and breaking tackles at will. He’s a human wrecking ball that will need stopping by the Raiders pack. Boyd was very strong in last week’s win over the Roosters, making 15 hitups and 30 tackles. He played more minutes than usual last week and had plenty of impact. Let the big boys go at each other!

Final Thoughts
The Wolf sees this one as a coin toss, however the home ground factor and the Sea Eagles dominant record over the Green Machine sways this one in their favour. The Wolf’s best bet is the overs. Both teams like to throw the football around and the last seven matches have been high-scoring affairs.
