The Canberra Raiders (7-6) will be looking to bounce back against the Wests Tigers (3-10) this Sunday afternoon at Campbelltown Sports Stadium in Sydney.
The Wests Tigers will be looking to win back-to-back games for the first time since Round 4. Benji Marshall's side snapped a run of nine straight losses last time out against the foot-of-the-table Gold Coast Titans by eight points.
However, they must stop a eight-game losing streak against the Raiders if they are to claim the two points. Meanwhile, Canberra failed to repeat their Round 13 golden point heroics against the North Queensland Cowboys, losing by 18 points.
Fortunately, they are still in the top eight, but a points differential of -55 can be a major concern by the conclusion of the season. In fact, they have the lowest point differential among the top 13 clubs.
