Pick Details

Sport / league:: NRL
Event / fixture:: Raiders vs. Storm
Event date: Sun, 20 Apr 2014 at 3:00 PM
Market:: Head-to-head
Tip:: Storm @ 1.71 (Pinnacle)
Tip Result:: Loss

Generally the Raiders are rock solid when playing at home regardless of how bad the rest of their season is going. But at the moment, the Green Machine seems to be struggling to defend GIO Stadium. Now they have to defend their home turf against the Storm who are not strangers to winning in Canberra. In fact the last 4 visits to Canberra have seen the Storm take victory, including the 68-4 shellacking last year.
Even the overall tally is pretty damning with the Storm having won 24 of the 33 overall clashes between the two sides.
We saw the Storm get out of jail last week against the Dragons when realistically they shouldn’t have gotten themselves in that situation in the first place but for some poor defence throughout the first 60 minutes of the game.
The Storm are conceding over 25 points per game on average in 2014 and it will be cause for concern if Coach Craig Bellamy doesn’t figure out how to stop the leak sooner rather than later.
The Raiders have been plagued by general inconsistencies throughout matches and appear to be struggling a tad without an established 5/8th. I’m wondering how long Coach Ricky Stuart will keep trying the Jack Wighton experiment.
I’m keen to back the Storm in betting here. Despite almost having lost 2 in a row but for last week’s 81st minute try, the Storm’s form is far superior to that of the Raiders. The last 15 minutes against the Dragons was exactly how the Storm should be playing for 80 minutes, and Coach Craig Bellamy and Captain Cam Smith would have been smart enough to pick up on this and turn it into improvements this week.
