The Sharks capitulated against Wests last weekend and so it does seem strange they head into this one as strong favourites against a Raiders team that has played good football in all three of its outings so far this season.

I thought the Raiders would struggle in 2024 but off the back of Fogarty’s stellar long kicking game, a strong forward pack and committed defence, the Raiders are playing high competition footy that is hard to beat.

Heading into last week’s game, one question I had was about the strength of the Raiders opponents. They had beaten a terrible Knights team and the wooden-spoon favourites, so there was a risk the Warriors would show them up… but after seeing Wests thrash Sharks and then the Raiders come very close to beating the Warriors in NZ, I think the Raiders deserve the competition’s respect.

The Sharks have a few forward injury concerns too, but with Hamlin-Uele a chance to return and some young guns at Newtown to draw upon, I think the Sharks will still field a very strong team and at home they are always hard to beat.

The Raiders at the line is tempting in this one and any moves around the key numbers could be interesting.

Predicted score: 22 Sharks - Raiders 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
