Canberra have an outstanding record as a home underdog and can best an out-of-form Roosters outfit on Friday night.

The Sydney Roosters have been downright dreadful in their last two showings with their ball-handling particularly dire. That is unlikely to improve on a cold, rain-sodden Canberra June night.

Canberra have an outstanding recent record against the Sydney Roosters. The Raiders have won and covered four of their last five against the Roosters while they have covered the betting spread in nine of the last 14.

The big concern with the Roosters is how poorly their attack is going. They have been held to scores of 12 and four in their last two games.

The Raiders have covered their last five as a home underdog and have covered 13 of 20 at home. Canberra are 28-17 against the spread as an underdog.

Canberra are value in this one.

Cody Ramsey has looked good since returning from a long-term absence including scoring a try against the Cowboys.

Kaeo Weekes has eight tries in 12 games this year and scored one of the tries of the season against the Roosters in 2025.

Savelio Tamale has six tries in his last nine games.

Zac Hosking is a rangy type who has built a decent tryscoring record since shifting to Canberra with eight tries in 39 games and he gets a good matchup this week. Hosking will be spending all night running at Sam Walker and Walker has some major defensive frailties. He scored five tries in 21 games last season so is due some positive regression this season.
