Cowboys week after week haven’t been playing to the level that people expected and now find them selves with just 3 wins and in the bottom four. A loss here today would no doubt see them in contention for the spoon.
The Eels on the other hand need a response after losing by 54 points to the Storm. The game last week is a poor reflection of how well the Eels have been in 2019. While inconsistent, the Eels have shown enough to be considered a fringe Top 8 team. Their back-three has been dominant in their wins with the pack rolling on the back of it. When they’ve got the go-forward, Mitchell Moses and Clint Gutherson have looked like some of the best players in their position.
It may be a little unexpected given the preseason expectations, but the Eels are the better of these two sides.

A win here for the bunnies puts them in first place which shows just how good they’ve been in 2019 with just the one loss in 9 weeks. The Raiders are in the top four and a win here would really boost them leading into origin next month.
Both sides are stacked with talent and have no problem defending or attacking with ease. This should be a ripper contest but I would lean towards the Raiders being at home and should love the conditions.
The Raiders have won 4/5 of the last head to heads and have a very strong home field record against the visitors.
