Not sure who will win but will be a very close (1 or 2 point margin) and low scoring.

Got a bad feeling the fix is really in with this game, Ref's boss apparently admitted the lodge penalty was wrong last week and the bunker official has been stood down. 360 saying it cost them the two points
Media love Ricky aswell and we have fucking Cummins, our discipline will need to be fucking spot on.

Crocker is on the opposite side, he plays as a left centre- normally outside Wighton.

Even though he's not that tall, he has an uncanny knack of catching cross feild kicks to score. Averillo and Flanagan will need to be onto this.
Ta.
Not sure I like Averillo marking him but on the other hand, the feeling might be mutual- depends on who’s attacking.

I'm not confident of a win with this one either. Remember we tend to play teams into form, and form is the only thing stopping the Raiders at the moment.

Elliott at #9 is puzzling.

Hope we win though given there are 3 ex Bulldogs at Raiders who will want to give it to us.


Totally agree. On paper they are a very capable side and should be much higher up the ladder than currently are.

But still very much can spank a side if they turn up to play.
Hi I think there are 4 ex dogs? 5 if you include hornsbough who had a stint with us lol.

Canberra are of of those teams that can be down by 20 points with 20mins to go and win a game.

Seeing as though we only played for 80mins once this year. Its gonna be a tough game
But they are more likely to be up 20 and lose. They have been the faders recently. They start ok.

Because Okunbor is trash and didn’t contribute to the win. Plus he hasn’t proven yet that he can consistently play without making numerous errors each game
nice opinion

Barrett's got to work out a way to give BBO more minutes. 10 minutes before half time and ten minutes after half time. 20 minutes in total to start off.

He is better off in Reggies playing 80 mins each week than waiting every week to try and have some impact in 10 mins late in the game.. I would rather we roll with 4 forwards on the bench that will get rotated than carry BBO. Unless its Burton there isnt anyone in the side we cant cover if needed by shuffling if an injury pops up.

Sacked for a bit of rumpy pumpy with his girlfriend in the toilet. I've never heard of anything so ridiculous. He should have sued. Our club acted in bad faith. Luckily for us, he loves the club too much to seek the restitution he was entitled to.
If he could have sued you can be guaranteed he would have. The players in theory, have means and resources above the average.Do u have any idea how that would play out for the reputation of any one involved? He also would not have landed his 1 yr raiders contract.
Another point. Raiders were good and then senior sex pest Elliott joins them......and they're cooked. That can't be a coincidence

Agree he needs match fitness and a few 80 minute games in reggies, it's a waste of a benchspot to give him 7 minutes each week. I just think there's more points in us if TBaz uses BBO better. Those ten minutes before and after halftime is when teams are a bit asleep in defence and BBO can really exploit that with his speed from dummy half, but as always it's up to the Master Superior Ultimate Super Coach Barrett lol

Just put Topine at 14 and let BBO play 80 in Cup

The Raiders finished 10th last year - hardly good. By comparison, they finished 5th in 2020 and 4th in 2019. They are just continuing a downward slide which started long before Elliott arrived at the club. Elliott's form has been really good and he almost lifted a lackluster team to victory last week.....to suggest he is the problem is either half assed reverse trolling, or just plain daft.

As for Elliott's prospects of litigation, you just countered your own argument. He absolutely could have sued. He chose not to because he found another club and doing so would have only led to a drawn out legal battle which would have been a distraction for both the player, and the club he still loves.

Overall, your post scores very highly on the dopeometer.
