The Canberra Raiders host the Sydney Roosters at GIO Stadium this Friday in a table-spanning NRL Round 14 clash.<\/p>\n
The Roosters sit third while the Raiders are down in 12th, but there’s a stark contrast in form between the two sides.<\/p>\n
Canberra put together one of their best performances of the season last week to see off the Cowboys 26-12, while Sydney have slipped to back-to-back defeats after winning six in a row.<\/p>\n
The Roosters looked woeful last round, committing 18 errors for their worst completion rate of the season against the Storm.<\/p>\n
Origin star James Tedesco was back in the squad too, so there’s little excuse for Sydney’s poor form.<\/p>\n
Canberra receive their own Origin absentees back this round, with Hudson Young and Ethan Strange in the run-on team.<\/p>\n
They’ve won four of the last five against the Roosters and despite being slight underdogs this time, should get the job done.<\/p>\n
Canberra haven’t cracked 30 points since Round 6, while the Roosters have only scored 16 points across their last two matches combined.<\/p>\n
This shapes as a low-scoring affair, following the recent head-to-head trend between these sides where three of the last five have fallen under 48.5 points total.<\/p>\n
Weekes is having a strong season at fullback for the Raiders, sitting third in the competition for line breaks at 59 from 11 games.<\/p>\n
He’s converted plenty of those into tries, with eight so far this season including four in his last five matches.<\/p>\n
Last week against the Cowboys he pounced on a deflection to score, so look for him to once again be Canberra’s opportunistic finisher in this match.<\/p>\n
