Saturday, July 25, 7.35 PM, Round 11, GIO Stadium, Canberra, Canberra Raiders take on South Sydney Rabbitohs NRL Match Preview
Raiders coming off a big win against the Roosters will enter into this clash with plenty of belief and confidence, motivation should benefit the Raiders who now know the road to the premiership could be theirs if they start ploughing the way, the Rabbitohs are still suffering from injuries and will play this one without Latrell and James Roberts which won’t help their recent form, either way, these two teams are always out to beat each other so it will be a spectacle.

The last time these two teams met the Raiders at home beat the Rabbitohs 16-10. Previously, in earlier years and most recent form, 28 matches played between the Raiders and the Rabbitohs favour the Raiders winning 15, all other statistics are pretty even between both teams.
Canberra Raiders for the win.
If we had to pick a line?
