how are raiders 5th on the ladder they have the worst for and against amongst the top 8 teams
100% but they must be a frustrating team to follow.
I've been through the rounds so far this season and they have been thrashed a few times, hence the poor against figure but they seem to do enough to win games against easy beats and even some of the top teams by 1 to 10 points.
Bit like top tennis players losing more games in a match but still being able to win more sets in tie breaks, Matts Wilander was a good example of that, and it comes down to the mental side of the game in being able to get the 1% plays more right than wrong.
Ricky has a way to get them up for a game after some horrid performances. He may well do so again next week when they meet the Storm in Melbourne who also need to find form but have rested a few of their stars but should put the Raiders away IF they find form.
That may not be easy though as every team has a boggie team and the Raiders are obviously the Storms boggie team. The last 5 times they've played in Melbourne the Raiders have WON!
Last time storm beat Raiders at home was in 2018.
