Canberra fans will be out in force on Friday night with club legend Josh Papalii set to play his final game in the capital. The most capped Raider of all-time, Papalii is arguably the club’s most beloved figure.

While the line of 10.5 is probably about right, the importance of the game should see the Raiders defending with plenty of energy, making the 51.5-point total the best play.

Night games have gone under at over 68% this season so the under is the natural starting point at any rate. Confidence is bumped up by the fact the under hits at 65% when two teams 12th or worse on the ladder meet.

This is a huge under spot for the Broncos too. The under is 17-8 when Brisbane are off conceding 30 or more and 20-13 when the Broncos play interstate.

This total is far too big.

Jed Stuart has been in super tryscoring form with five tries in his last five games.

Simi Sasagi comes off a double against Newcastle and was desperate to play in Josh Papalii’s farewell home game so will be at his best.

Ezra Mam is an elite tryscoring half with four tries in his last four games and tries in three of his four matches against the Raiders.

Owen Pattie is a hooker on the rise and Ricky Stuart has finally made the call that Pattie is Canberra’s No.1 rake. It has turned the season around for Canberra. He is a more-than-handy tryscorer who has three tries in his last six NRL starts. He also has five tries in eight games at NSW Cup level this year.
