Five and a kick: Benji's Tigers lost to Penrith, but did they actually win in the long run?
1. Tigers earning their stripes The Tigers played Souths last year when the Bunnies were at their very highest point. Tim Sheens coached them…
And you thought the Dragons were peeved with Melbourne? The Raiders have beaten the Storm just four times since 2003 – a run that included 14 straight defeats.
If Melbourne produce another lacklustre start, similar to their now infamous clash with the Dragons, surprise packets Canberra will back themselves to seal an upset. But as you can imagine, stats have not been kind to the Raiders.
They are on a two-game losing streak – and have dropped their past six home games. Oh, and the last time they took on Melbourne, they were thrashed 68-4.
Key: Anthony Milford’s mindset. The Canberra playmaker appears to be in a representative tug-of-war between Queensland, Australia and Samoa after scintillating early-season form but must get his head right if the Raiders are to be a chance of an upset.

It was like a blast from the past with the Broncos not only dominating on the scoreboard, but shades of past legends.
It had all been going so well. Canberra were by far the better side for ten minutes, with Jamal Fogarty giving the Brisbane back…
Simi Sasagi couldn't believe his luck as he strolled straight past Jaiyden Hunt, who should have made a better attempt at a tackle.
In wet conditions, the Broncos were making it extremely tough for 18-year-old Chevy Stewart in just his second game.
A hit in the face is not what the Brisbane fullback needed after recently returning from a broken cheekbone.
