Raiders vs Warriors NRL Saturday tips & value bets – Rd 19, 2022

Super Saturday will get underway in the nations capital when the New Zealand Warriors take on the Canberra Raiders in Round 19 of the NRL.

The Warriors have won just one game since these two teams last met, while the Raiders managed to keep their season alive with a thrilling win over Melbourne last weekend.

For the Raiders to continue an unlikely charge to September, they will need to overcome a negative differential. While they have the Panthers left on their schedule in Round 21, there are other six remaining games are certainly within their grasp.

They proved to be fantastic value at the long price last week, but the market has completely flipped to see them as a short $1.28 favourite in the head-to-head market.

It was the round eight clash between these two clubs that proved to be the lowest ebb for Canberra as well as the turning point in their season. After that day at Redcliffe where they fell apart in the second half once again, many experts thought they were a great selection to win the wooden spoon. Having seen their form reversal, who wouldn’t love to go back in time and put some money on them to make the eight?

This is a game that should be a cake walk compared to the battle they walked away from in Melbourne.

Canberra have been aside in the past that I have pulled off miraculous wins and given away the games they should take care of. With the Warriors having one just one game since round nine, it is hard to see even the Raiders bottling this one. They will be a popular pick at the 13+ margin ($2.10) even if the Warriors have shown improvement in recent weeks. A win at this margin would be somewhat of an outlier for their results in recent weeks, But perhaps they are due for an outlier performance as their confidence grows from the Melbourne game.

The Warriors received a nice boost a few weeks ago when they were able to defeat the Tigers in their return to New Zealand, but against Parramatta, it felt like a return to normal transmission. The final score line may have got to within 10 points, but Parramatta had put the cue in the rack a being up by 22 points.

The Warriors in the past have come to Canberra as an underdog before and performed well, but the home team has too much to play for and it is going to prove too much for the New Zealanders. They are been given a +10 handicap at the line, which will be touch and go. Whether the result has been a Raiders win or loss at home this season, The final margin has never been more than 10 points, so perhaps punters can be convinced into taking the Warriors at that line?

Key matchup: Xavier Savage vs Reece Walsh

Xavier Savage and Reece Walsh are two players with talent to burn and a blinder from either of these youngsters could prove the difference in the contest. Savage was unlucky to have the match-sealing try taken away from him last week, while no one can deny the silky-smooth skills of Reece Walsh. How could footy fans not want to watch this? Even if Walsh has been demoted to the bench for the game.
