Both teams were disappointing losers last weekend, with the Raiders suffering a surprise defeat to Wests and the Raiders blowing an 18-point lead to the Sharks.

Coach Stuart has resisted the urge to make wholesale changes and is sticking with the team that has started the season so strongly. It is worth noting that although the Raiders have won 2 and lost 2, they have played three of their four games away from home and against some quality teams in the likes of Warriors, Sharks and Knights.

As for the Eels, they have also started the season strongly, but they put in their worst performance of the season last weekend and it is no coincidence that this occurred with the absence of Moses and Cartwright. Without these two in-form players, the Eels looked clunky in attack and Wests were able to withstand a ton of pressure.

The Raiders have some issues of their own, with Rapana and Strange coming crashing back to reality with some poor performances in Round 3, along with a bench that looked sluggish and poorly organised.

At home, I think the Raiders will improve a lot this week and should be just good enough for the win.

Predicted score: 20 Raiders - Eels 18

Let’s be honest - what do you really want from your betting?

For nearly every punter, it boils down to the same things.

You want to win. Of course. Nobody likes losing money. But as you probably know, winning over the long term is hard. Very hard.

You want it to be easy. This isn’t a job for you. It’s a hobby… maybe a bit of a side hustle. But you don’t want  - nor do you have the time - to spend hours and hours each week on trying to decipher where the value in the market is.

You want it to be fun. Nobody got into this for it to be a chore, did they? You want to make good bets, and enjoy riding the outcomes

Your job? Just bet and enjoy.
