Round 16: West Tigers v Canberra Raiders preview

Round 16 of the NRL Premiership wraps up on Sunday with the Canberra Raiders travelling to take on the Wests Tigers at Campbelltown Sports Stadium.

The Tigers snapped a nine-game losing streak last weekend when they beat the Titans at Leichhardt Oval and lifted themselves off the bottom of the NRL ladder.

Meanwhile, the Raiders will be desperate to bounce back from their round 15 loss to the Cowboys in Canberra and push for a spot in the top four on the NRL ladder.

Tigers coach Benji Marshall welcomes back young gun five-eighth Lachlan Galvin, with Aidan Sezer moving to halfback, Apisai Koroisau to hooker, and Tallyn Da Silva back to the bench. Brent Naden has been named to start at centre, with Solomona Faataape returning to the wing. Reuben Porter starts in the second row, Fonua Pole lines up at prop, and Kit Lualilii fills out the bench, with Jordan Miller dropping back to the reserves.

Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has been forced to make one change. Tom Starling is out due to concussion, with Zac Woolford named on the bench as his replacement.

Wests Tigers v Canberra Raiders R16 betting picks

The Raiders have won each of their last eight clashes with the Tigers, who have failed to cover the line in eight of their last 10 matches at this ground. Three of Canberra’s last five wins over Wests have been by 13 or more points. There is excellent value in the +190 price at Neds for the Raiders to win by that margin again this week.

Expect the Raiders to respond to last week’s loss well and complete the half-time/full-time double, which is paying -108.7 with top NRL bookies. The Tigers have lost both halves in each of their last three matches at this ground, while the Raiders won both halves in their last win over the Dolphins.

Raiders forward Hudson Young was arguably unlucky to be dropped from the New South Wales side following their Origin I loss to Queensland. He now returns to Sunday afternoon football, where he has scored a try in 15 of his last 17 appearances when Canberra have been favourites. Young is a safe bet to score again this weekend, with PlayUp offering +130.
