A seismic NRL shift has led to a compelling Canberra vs. Canterbury clash, challenging preseason predictions.
There is a seismic shift happening in the NRL and it has thrown up a blockbuster round-10 clash that doesn't feature any of the competition heavyweights of recent years in Penrith, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Canberra v Canterbury on Saturday afternoon is as real as it gets in terms of two teams that are capable of winning the premiership.
Back at the start of the season I wrote there were only three teams that could win the competition - the Panthers, Storm and Broncos. I might still turn out to be right, but I'm not remotely as confident now as I was then.
