At this point of the season some teams have had two byes whilst the Cowboys are still yet to have their first. Their defence was lethargic last week and it is hard to see them reversing that energy deficiency in one week with the bye now so close.
Canberra on the other hand had the week off last weekend and will be coming into this game fresh and with two weeks of researching the Cowboys. Take them to cover the short line.

- Both of these teams are top 4 in Run Metres per game
- Forwards have a high strike rate in tryscoring against the Cowboys with 6 of the last 13 tries conceded coming from opposition forwards.

The Raiders had the luxury of the Bye last weekend and have used the time to recuperate after a hectic first half of the season.
Prior to their bye in round 13, Canberra were able to secure a Golden Point victory over the Dolphins with Jordan Rapana the man of the hour. The stand-in fullback levelled the scores in the 77th minute with his first field goal then was instrumental in stopping a Dolphins try in extra time before slotting the final 1 pointer to win the game for his team.
It is a game the Raiders should have lost with statistics showing they underperformed compared to their opponents. The Dolphins missed 4 opportunities to win the game in extra time.

The Cowboys will be the last team to have their first Bye next week in round 16 and it couldn’t come sooner with a host of players having a large workload around the Origin period.
North Queensland were out ran, out played and out scored last week against the Warriors giving their opposition 60% of the Territory as well as 56% of Possession across the 80 minutes. The Cowboys were only able to Run for 1136m themselves, around 300m less than the league average per game whilst giving up 1683m to their opposition.
