The Raiders suffered a cruel blow last weekend, with the loss of Fogarty for 3 months cruelling their momentum and leaving a huge hole in their roster. The one position where the Raiders did not have depth was at 7 and so losing their in-form general play kicker is something that will be very hard to overcome.

The Raiders game plan has been centred on defending Fogarty kicks and building pressure / possession. Against the Broncos, all of that became impossible and the wheels fell apart.

Making matters worse, the rest of the Raiders spine started falling apart, with Levi, Stewart and Strange all playing poorly under pressure.

Back at home and with a week to prepare for life without Fogarty for the foreseeable future, I think the Raiders will come out firing and are not without a hope here, but the Sharks are starting to look clinical in their attack.

Predicted score: 24 Sharks - Raiders 16

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.
