The NRL returns to the country with the Canberra Raiders at their regional home of Wagga Wagga against the Melbourne Storm. Join The Roar for live scores from 3pm AEST.
The Raiders have been trying to offload at every opportunity this season and perhaps that’s part of their problem. It’s spread across the board among their forwards – not all the time but on some occasions it perhaps would be more beneficial to charge harder into the line, find the ground quickly for a fast play-the-ball.
Canberra have kept the squad the same but don’t be surprised if Tom Starling is a late switch back to the bench from hooker.
Melbourne’s Justin Olam was named Dally M centre of the year in 2021 alongside Matt Burton, who is back at five-eighth now he’s a Bulldog. Apart from Roosters star Joey Manu and Knights veteran Dane Gagai is there anyone else who goes close to challenging Olam for the mantle of best centre in the game?
Coach Craig Bellamy has the luxury of not needing to change a winning team after Melbourne won by 44.
