The last two matches between the Raiders and the Dolphins have gone to Golden Point with Canberra winning both. The Draw has to be in-play in this game for one unit, but getting a 4.5-point start on the Dolphins is also too good to pass up.
I believe that the slow start for Redcliff has affected this line and based on the good form of both of these two will see this match go down to the wire. If it is not dead-equal at full time I even gove the edge to the Dolphins due to their superior ability in defence that has them as the third-best defensive team in the comp.
Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow has been the spark for the Dolphins attack over the last few weeks, along with Isiaya Katoa and I expect the pair to link up and put on points for the Phins.
The Hammer will score in this one and I’ll even throw it out there that Katoa kicks the field goal to win it for the Phins.

The Raiders are 5-2 and have to be extremely happy with where they are sitting right now in fourth on the ladder.
The Raiders strength of schedule has been moderate, but to be fair they have overcome a tough period where they have played just two games in Canberra in 7 rounds of footy.
Canberra have been strong with ball in hand, and have been able to play on the right part of the ground, often due to the superior kicking game of Jamal Fogarty. The Raiders rank sixth in the NRL with an average of 29.4 tackles inside their opposition 20m and rank third with an average of 28.3 points per game.

The Phins are up higher than ever after getting their first ever win over the Melbourne Storm and doing it in devastating fashion. The Dolphins ran riot over Melbourne putting up 42 points to 22, dominating in large portions of the match and forcing mistakes from the Storm.
It is the third win on the trot for the Dolphins, who have begun to find their feet under new coach Kristian Woolf. Even when they were winless, the Phins have been solid in defence and boast the third-best points against record, averaging 19.4 opposition points per game.
Since they have begun to find their flow in attack they have been unstoppable, scoring an average of 36 points per game in their last three games, all resulting in victories.
