Instead, Derek Carr was victimized the the fumble-out-of-the-end-zone-for-a-touchback rule with 30 seconds to go and Oakland trailing by three points, and one kneeldown later, the Cowboys escaped with the 20-17 victory.īut here's the thing: Dallas deserved to lose this game if only for the series that preceded the untimely Carr fumble. Then, over the final 30 minutes, Oakland scored 17 points, and were a yard, a fumble, and a stupid NFL rule away from pulling off a huge late-season victory that would immeasurably improve their playoff chances. The Raiders have the classier side and head into the contest less impacted by Origin, while Wests have surrendered 100 points to Canberra in the last three contests.īEST BET: Canberra Raiders -1.5, $1.The Raiders took the first half off and the Cowboys jumped out to a 10-0 lead.
Jordan Rapana – Anytime Try Scorer: $2.20 (via Ladbrokes)Įxpect Canberra to hit their straps early and provide scoring opportunities to the outside backs.
#Raiders vs cowboys score plus
Plus the outside backs that looked in doubt after Saturday night’s victory appear good to go and Jordan Rapana looks hungry for his first try since Magic Round. Canberra, after all, with the likes of Albert Hopoate, Nick Cotric and Joseph Tapine have plenty of talent.Ĭanberra’s only Origin rep, Hudson Young, most likely plays after logging just 30 minutes for NSW. The Raiders responded after a dud Round 12 and took care of business against Souths against the odds last week, like good teams do.Ĭanberra’s understandably the favourite in this one, having won six of its last seven games, but the market is understandably tight.

Junior Tupou and David Nofoaluma will need to stand up for Wests to have any chance. The Tigers captain is coming off a tiring 80-minute effort for the Blues in Adelaide and faces a tough 48-hour turnaround. The forwards won’t have it all their own way against Canberra’s fierce pack and the availability of hooker Api Koroisau will prove pivotal. Starford To’a of the Tigers celebrates with teammates after scoring a try during round 12. The Tigers come in off a bye, but delivered a 66-18 pummelling to the Cowboys before that, of course. Jarrod Croker is being rested for the Raiders.Ĭoach Tim Sheens has a chance to successfully leverage ‘disrespect’ motivation, which could lift the home side after the highs of their last appearance. Player availability will dictate exactly how the market settles before kick-off, with Api Koroisau and Hudson Young backing up from the State of Origin opener. WESTS TIGERS: $2.05 (via Betr, bet365 and Ladbrokes) There’s a chance Wests will be fuelled by motivation relating to Ricky Stuart opting to rest 299-gamer Jarrod Croker, which could be framed as disrespect. The headlines around NRL’s Round 14-opening contest are about the high profile players that aren’t playing.
