NRL Preview Round 22: Raiders v Tigers

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Canberra Raiders v Wests Tigers<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Sunday, August 12, 2pm<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />GIO Stadium, Canberra</span></strong><br /> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></strong> <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;">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.</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;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Recent Form</strong>Canberra managed to blow another late lead against Penrith, suffering a humiliating 40-31 loss to Penrith. The Raiders are 10th on the ladder with an 8-12 record. They have the second best attack in the NRL but rank 13th in defence. The Raiders have remarkably lost seven games scoring 22 or more points this year. The Wests Tigers are ninth on the ladder with a 10-10 record. They have the worst attack in the NRL but rank fourth in defence. The Tigers have won three of their last four, not conceding more than 16 in any of those four games.</span></div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"></strong></span><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;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Stats That Matter</strong>– Canberra are 8-12 ATS with a 13-7 over record while Wests Tigers are 10-10 ATS with a 13-7 under number.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />– The Raiders have destroyed the Tigers in four straight, scoring 46 or more in all four with wins of 54, 42, 40 and 36.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />– Canberra have won three of the last four at Canberra Stadium.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />– Five of the last six matches have hit 52 points or more.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />– Home favourites who conceded 40 or more are 6-11 ATS over the last four years.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />– The Raiders are 17-24 ATS as a home favourite.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />– When favoured by 4.5 or more, the Raiders are 15-15 ATS with a 20-10 over record.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />– The Raiders have covered just four of 11 as a home favourite after conceding 30 or more.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />– The over is 13-8 in Raiders home day games.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />– The Tigers have covered 12 of 16 when getting 4.5 or more with the under 13-3 in those games.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />– The Tigers gave covered just 3 of 11 away from their suburban home grounds but have covered 11 of 15 when getting 4 or more.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />– The Tigers are 11-5 ATS when away from their suburban home grounds in day matches.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />– The Tigers have covered 7 of 10 after scoring 24-plus points.</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;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Final Thoughts</strong>The 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.</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;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">How It Shapes Up</strong>Canberra by 18</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;">Recommended Bets<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Best: Canberra -4.5 ($1.91)</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Value: HT/NT Double – Canberra 13+ ($2.85)</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">First Tryscorer: Jordan Rapana ($9)</span></span></strong></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7mP2GeNhMb4/W26r7ygcr4I/AAAAAAAAGyM/gjLAK0RlTDM28tB4W_tdoO88xV0YTStRQCLcBGAs/s1600/20180810002409_161.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="385" data-original-width="600" height="410" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7mP2GeNhMb4/W26r7ygcr4I/AAAAAAAAGyM/gjLAK0RlTDM28tB4W_tdoO88xV0YTStRQCLcBGAs/s640/20180810002409_161.jpg" width="640" /></a></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;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><br /></span></span></strong></div> </div>

It’s almost a must-win match for the Sharks if they want to finish inside the Top 4 after they suffered a disappointing loss to the Sea Eagles last week.</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;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Recent Form</strong>Melbourne sit second on the ladder with a 14-6 record. They have the third best attack and second best defence. They have won eight straight before a poor 30-20 loss to South Sydney. The Storm have won all four this year after conceding 20. Cronulla are sixth on the ladder with a 12-8 record. The Sharks rank ninth in scoring and fifth in defence. The Sharks have lost their last two.</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;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Stats That Matter</strong>– Melbourne are 10-10 ATS with an 11-9 under record while Cronulla are 9-11 ATS with an 11-9 under record.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />– Cronulla have won four of the last six against Melbourne dating back to 2016, including a win in the 2016 Grand Final.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />– The teams have played seven straight that have tallied 32 or fewer.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />– The Storm are 7-1 all-time v the Sharks at AAMI Park with six of those wins by 18 or more.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />– Melbourne are 26-19 ATS with a 27-18 under record at AAMI Park since 2015 with a 10-2 ATS record at the ground off a loss.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />– The Storm are 20-13 ATS as a favourite of 4.5 or more off a win.</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;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Final Thoughts</strong>The Storm had won eight matches in a row before last week’s loss to the Rabbitohs and will bounce back in a big way here. The Storm are 7-1 all-time v the Sharks at AAMI Park with six of those wins by 18 or more, while the Sharks conceded 33 points against the inconsistent Sea Eagles last week. Melbourne’s pride was dented against the Rabbitohs last week and Craig Bellamy will demand a strong response.</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;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">How It Shapes Up</strong>Melbourne by 16</span></div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"></strong></span><br /> <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;">Recommended Bets<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Best: Melbourne -6.5 ($1.91)</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">Value: Melbourne 13+ ($2.85)</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;">First Tryscorer: Felise Kaufusi ($17)</span></span></strong></div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> <a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vg-F6wvETnI/W26qnS0LlNI/AAAAAAAAGx8/-HdZlZ9WSrYyy-WhZIs5HHqyD3zdNm8CQCLcBGAs/s1600/2018Aug10124708_940015836.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="398" data-original-width="600" height="424" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vg-F6wvETnI/W26qnS0LlNI/AAAAAAAAGx8/-HdZlZ9WSrYyy-WhZIs5HHqyD3zdNm8CQCLcBGAs/s640/2018Aug10124708_940015836.jpg" width="640" /></a><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: inherit;"><br /></span></span></strong></div> </div>

padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The spine of the side looks stronger thanks to the addition of Damien Da Silva (Caen), ex-Lyon schemer Clement Grenier (Guingamp) and £10.5 million striker Jordan Siebatcheu (Reims), arguably the best all-round front player in Ligue 2 last season.</span></div> <div style="border: 0px;
