ATS - RAIDERS -5.5 (x1)

Backing the Raiders to make it 2 from 2 to start 2011 Friday night @ home against the Broncos. Canberra were very impressive last start without a number of players against the Sharks. Winning easily. They have a very good record @ home and will be keen to prove they are right up their with best in the league. They will still be without Campese, Dugan, Tounge and now White which is a lot but this team has depth and can cover. They will welcome key signing Orford back this week for his first game with the club and I expect their forward pack lead by Harrison, Leroyd-Lars and Shillington to be far to strong for the young Broncos to handle. Brisbane are a work in progress, they are fielding a very young inexperienced side, still without Hodges and big signing Hannant will test. They do have one of the best halves pairing in Wallace and Locky who will be looking to bounce back after dropping last weeks game to the Cowboy's @ home. Brisbane don't often drop back 2 back games but Canberra will be to strong especially @ home.
