The most recent loss at home to Germany can be forgiven - although a 1-4 scoreline isn't ideal - but the 4-0 thrashing they took at Windsor Park in November was pretty shambolic.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What that means for <span style="font-weight: 600;">Robert Prosinečki's</span> side now is that the second half of their qualifying campaign needs to be pretty flawless to make the top two and have a chance of playing in Russia next summer.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">They do have the advantage of having three of their five games to play in Baku, but their overall win record at home isn't great, so I would be <span style="font-weight: 600;">hugely surprised</span> if they challenge either Northern Ireland or the Czech Republic for second.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /><span style="font-weight: 600;">Northern Ireland</span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 600;"><br /></span></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Northern Irish are in the box seat when it comes to who will be finishing as <span style="font-weight: 600;">runners-up</span> to Germany in this group. They are in second place - two points better off than the Czech Republic and three clear of this weekend's opponents.</span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div style="-webkit-text-stroke: 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 0.5em;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A trio of wins and a draw from their opening five fixtures has put them where they are and the most pleasing thing for <span style="font-weight: 600;">Michael O'Neill</span> will surely be that his side have racked up 10 goals thus far.

The Titans have conceded at least 24 in six of their last nine and have the second worst defence conceding 26.8 points per game. The Titans are 2-4 at home this year. New Zealand are 12<sup style="box-sizing: border-box;">th</sup> on the ladder with a 5-8 record. The Warriors have won just 2 of their last 7 and are 0-7 away from Mt Smart this year with all of those losses by six or more.

Peats made an outstanding Origin debut and will take plenty of confidence back to club level. He missed last week’s loss to the Cowboys and will give the Titans a big boost around the ruck. Meanwhile, Luke produced arguably his best game in a Warriors jersey against the Eels last week, running for 128 metres and was a constant threat from dummy-half.</span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Stats That Matter</span></strong></div> </figure><br /> <ul style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; list-style-position: outside; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem 1.1rem; padding: 0px;"> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Gold Coast are 6-6 ATS with a 9-3 over record while New Zealand are 4-9 ATS with a 7-6 under record.</span></li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">New Zealand have won four straight and 12 of their last 13 against Gold Coast.</span></li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">New Zealand have won their last six at Skilled.</span></li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The last 10 between these teams have topped 38 points.</span></li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Titans are 5-10 ATS as a home  favourite over the last four seasons but have covered their last four at the ground off a loss.</span></li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Interstate outsiders of less than a try cover at 71% since 2014.</span></li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Warriors are 6-13 ATS in day games away from Mt Smart with the over 13-6.</span></li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Titans have covered just 1 of their last 4 home day games.</span></li> </ul> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Final Thoughts</strong></span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It’s extremely hard to trust the Warriors at the best of times, but their strong record against the Titans is impossible to ignore.

NRL Preview: Panthers v Raiders

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">NRL Preview<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Penrith Panthers v Canberra Raiders</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Saturday, June 10, 5:30pm (AEST), Carrington Park, Bathurst</strong></span><br /> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></strong> <br /> <br /> <figure style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This shapes up as a crucial match for both sides as they both sit one win outside the Top 8 on 12 competition points. The Raiders are coming off another heart-breaking loss to the Sea Eagles for a second time this year, while the Panthers shutout the Bulldogs 38-0 last week. The Raiders will be without Shannon Boyd and Dunamis Lui, who both picked up injuries in the loss to the Sea Eagles. Luke Bateman and Royce Hunt both come into the side.</span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">History</strong></span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Raiders have won four of the last five against the Panthers including the elimination final last season. The Panthers won last year’s clash at Carrington Park 19-18, with Peter Wallace kicking the match-winning field-goal. Jordan Rapana scored a double in a losing side.</span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Form</strong></span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Penrith won just two of their first nine games but have found some form since with three straight wins against New Zealand, Newcastle and Canterbury where they have averaged 34.67 points per game. They enter this off a shutout against Canterbury after conceding at least 18 in seven straight. Canberra are now outside the Top 8 and looking in. They have won just two of their last six with those wins against Parramatta and an understrength Roosters. Canberra have scored 20-plus in four straight. They are 2-5 away from Canberra Stadium.</span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Key Matchup</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Josh Mansour v Jordan Rapana. Mansour made his long awaited return from an ACL injury in the Panthers win over the Bulldogs and didn’t miss a beat, running for over 200 metres and scoring a try in his return. Rapana had an outstanding game against the Sea Eagles, running for 243 metres, making three line-breaks and scoring two tries. He scored two tries in the last clash against the Panthers in Bathurst and will be looking forward to the challenge against Mansour.</span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Stats That Matter</span></strong></div> </figure><br /> <ul style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; list-style-position: outside; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem 1.1rem; padding: 0px;"> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Penrith are 4-8 ATS with a 7-5 under record while Canberra are 7-6 ATS with an 8-5 under number.</span></li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Canberra have won four of the last five against Penrith including the elimination final last season.</span></li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Penrith won the only clash played in Bathurst 19-18.</span></li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">All three regular season games played in Bathurst have gone under the total with Penrith covering just 1 of 3.</span></li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Panthers are 4-9 ATS since the start of 2015 as a favourite of less than a try.</span></li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Panthers have covered just 6 of their last 18 night/twilight games.</span></li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Canberra have covered 13 of 17 night/twilight games.</span></li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Canberra are 21-9 ATS as a road outsider and have covered seven straight.</span></li> <li style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Raiders are 12-3 ATS as a road underdog off a loss.</span></li> </ul> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Final Thoughts</strong></span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Wolf isn’t reading too much into the Panthers big win over the Bulldogs last week as the effort by the Bulldogs would have seen them beaten by most sides in NSW Cup. The Raiders have a good recent record over the Panthers and look to have more strikepower in their backline. There was a field goal between these sides last time in Bathurst and The Wolf is expecting another close one here.</span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">How It’s Shaping Up</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Canberra by 2</span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Best Bet</strong></span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Canberra +1.5 ($1.91)</span></strong></span></div> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-large; line-height: inherit;">Other Recommended Bets</strong><br /> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Canberra 1-12 ($3.30)</span></strong></span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><br /></span></strong></span> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAw2zS0gP0AQPywZd1ma2HyhPabjG86h-XAeDZDSu5s1jtoD4GIhaHAoRv48C0OtB0p4rVrb1xQYSxfVW8Kg_mPW_e8NRMLuyup5flsE4QWFIQYSUUykC-STitEmU0BUYJgutktR1xx6c/s1600/2017Jun08051459_607368088.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="600" height="408" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAw2zS0gP0AQPywZd1ma2HyhPabjG86h-XAeDZDSu5s1jtoD4GIhaHAoRv48C0OtB0p4rVrb1xQYSxfVW8Kg_mPW_e8NRMLuyup5flsE4QWFIQYSUUykC-STitEmU0BUYJgutktR1xx6c/s640/2017Jun08051459_607368088.jpg" width="640" /></a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><br /></span></strong></span></div>

NRL Preview: Eels v Cowboys

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">NRL Preview<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Parramatta Eels v North Queensland Cowboys</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Saturday, June 10, 7:30pm (AEST), TIO Stadium, Darwin</strong></span><br /> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></strong> <br /> <figure style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Both the Eels and Cowboys have named their influential playmakers on their respective extended benches, but only one looks like taking his spot here. Corey Norman is expected to make an early return from injury and immediately his presence boosts the hopes of the Eels. The Cowboys have named Kyle Laybutt to make his debut, with Johnathan Thurston named in jersey no.19. It’s worth keeping an eye on late team news to see if Norman and/or Thurston get named in the final 17.</span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">History</strong></span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Cowboys have won 7 of the last 10 against Parramatta but the last six have been split evenly. The Eels smashed the Cowboys 26-6 in Townsville back in Round 9, with the versatile Clint Gutherson scoring a double. It’s worth noting that Johnathan Thurston didn’t feature in the 20-point loss, with John Asiata playing in the halves alongside Michael Morgan.</span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Form</strong>Parramatta have moved into the Top 8 with their 7-6 record. They have won back-to-back games against Souths and New Zealand and have won five of their last seven. The Eels have conceded at least 16 in 10 of 13 matches this year. North Queensland have won just 3 of their last 7 and have not won consecutive games since Round 5. They enter this off a flat 20-8 win over Gold Coast. The Cowboys have scored 20-plus in 6 of their last 9.</span></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Key Matchup</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Nathan Brown v Jason Taumalolo. Brown has been one of the signings of the season and has made the Eels No.13 jersey his own. He played a massive 80 minutes in last week’s win over the Warriors as he battled through a rib injury. He led the way with 20 runs for 178 metres and 39 tackles in a trademan-like performance. Taumalolo was a wrecking ball once again in the Cowboys scratchy win over the Titans.
