[Menteek]

This is a game we have to win. Dislike raiders as my uncle is the Canberra raiders drummer with the Viking hat.

 

[djdeep4172]

We will make or break our season coming into the second bye.
5 weeks to start get winning or packing for season 2025

 

[Raysie]

You can accept losses like Storm and Panthers away as long as we back those up with the wins we are expected to get.

A loss this week or falling into the trap of how they play would be extremely dissapointing considering the style, attititude and confidence we've built this year.

It all depends if the NRL continue there grudge with Gus for telling the truth.

problem is how does the NRL react for magic round this weekend. That will tell how we will go this week. Not saying we are excusing ourselves regarding the refs but we need to have it go at least 50/50 or else I’d say we will find it hard to iron out these games especially with the raiders

 

[surfdog]

If we can win 2 of the next 3 its a pass for me and good chance of grabbing 7/8th spot this year

We need to eliminate the errors from our game and stop blaming the officials.

"Stop blaming the officials". Not gonna happen.

 

[King Gus]

We need to eliminate the errors from our game and stop blaming the officials.

Every team makes errors but the penalties and the constant six again on the 4th and 5th is a killer, surely not every team is disciplined when they play us.

Tell You what that ref must of been shitting balls when we came out the first 20 minutes with our line speed and defence

 

[John Matrix]

We need to eliminate the errors from our game and stop blaming the officials.

Errors yes, officials need to be called out when they fail and especially when they cost us a win.

damm rapana is back this wk for the raiders

 

[Marki]

damm rapana is back this wk for the raiders

X-factor player who terrorises us when we play them.

Need to start well and convert our chances into points. They'll play unpredictable and can mow us down, but hopefully with our better defence, we can block them out

Any train and trial players getting the call up? Jack Todd was rumoured to be one of them but he broke his arm at training. Don't know that any of the others would get a run without injuries to the current squad.
The players are:
Harry Hayes (NSW Cup)
Eli Clark (NSW Cup)
Jack Todd (NSW Cup)
Lipoi Hopoi (NSW Cup)
Logan Spinks (Jersey Flegg)

Hopoi looks close

Not sure if anyone noticed but our first defensive set we held the riff to a 12 metre set …that was so great to see

Hopoi looks close

I don't see anybody making it into the first grade side on form alone. Unless there are injuries,I don't see Ciro making changes.

It was awesome. Our defensive pressure in general has been top notch. My biggest concern with that, is players burning out toward the end of the year.

damm rapana is back this wk for the raiders

Still a good player,but he isn't the threat he was once
