NRL OFFICIAL PLAY

ATS - TIGERS -3.5 (x1.5) (Buying x1 point PYOL @ Sportsbet)

On the Tigers here tonight to win and cover against the Raiders. Canberra still have some injury woes with Tounge, Campese and Dugan who may return tonight but will be underdone. They are also getting use to their new halfback Orford. This will take a little time as shown last week against the Broncos. Coming up against one of the best play makers in the game in Benji will not be easy for this new combination. The Tigers are still with out Ellis, Gibbs and Fulton. Which is a blow to their pack. Both Ellis and Gibbs have been given up until game time to pass as fit. If either or both take the field this will be a huge boost! The Tigers while still a long way of their best managed to grind out a win against the Warriors last week which will do wonders for their confidence. They have the wood on Canberra having beaten the in their last 5 meetings. Canberra also has a bad record @ Cambelltown winning just once in 6 visits. The Tigers are rank 1st in the comp for offloads with Heighington leading the way. I expect this to be the difference here and once the Tigers start this second phase style of play creating opportunities, expect Benji and Farrar to capitalise! Tigers win and cover @ home.
