The last time these two teams met the Canberra Raiders at home beat the Tigers 20-12. Previously, in earlier years and most recent form, matches between the Wests Tigers and the CanberraRaiders have been split evenly, but only because in the most recent games the Canberra has been dominating the Wests Tigers, looking at the last ten meetings the Raiders have won eight of them, not to mention the Wests Tigers have conceded double the number of points the Raiders have so far this season.
Wests Tigers for the win.
