The Raiders showed plenty of attacking flair against the Panthers last week and will adopt similar tactics here against a Tigers side who must win to keep their slim finals hopes alive. It’s been an interesting week at Concord, with reports filtering through that coach Ivan Cleary has been approached by the Panthers despite having two years to still run on his Tigers deal. It’s hardly the ideal preparation for the Tigers and they could be on the end of another hiding from one of their bogey sides.

Final ThoughtsThe Raiders have the wood over the Tigers and it should be no different in Canberra on Sunday afternoon. The Raiders have destroyed the Tigers in four straight, scoring 46 or more in all four with wins of 54, 42, 40 and 36. Canberra are playing a dangerous style of football with plenty of offloading led by the duo of Leilua and Rapana. The Tigers have been gallant this year, but seem to crumble every time they come up against the Raiders.
