Show Preview
The Canberra Raiders host the Wests Tigers to kick off Saturday’s program. Join The Roar for live scores from 3pm AEST.
Teenager Lachlan Galvin is set to start at five-eighth in the Tigers’ season opener against Canberra in the national capital, partnering new recruit Jayden Sullivan in the halves.
First-season coach Benji Marshall made the bold call in the biggest selection gamble since Marshall also debuted at 18 back in 2003.
That roll of the dice turned out OK, with Marshall leading the joint venture to their one and only premiership two years later.
Little wonder the club’s rep stars are backing Marshall and Galvin to deliver for the Tigers more than two decades on.
Despite a perceived lack of belief from NRL pundits, the Raiders produced a stirring 28-12 win against Newcastle that made a mockery of predictions they’d tumble down the ladder.
The Raiders should be too strong for a Tigers side which had the bye in Round 1. Raiders by 12
