Hey Timmah, has any other team in the nrl had 3 monday night games this year? Just curious.

 

[Timmah]

I'm sure by Round 18 Canberra would have had four.

 

[Non Terminator]

Back-to-back Monday for Melbourne. At least they've got seven days...still rediculous though.
I think they'll win, but jeez.

 

[mongoose]

I've never been so sure of losing a game in my life.

 

[Timmah]

Really? I can't pick this one. Melbourne weren't utterly convincing tonight and Canberra look closer to winning every week.

 

[MsStorm]

I'm sure by Round 18 Canberra would have had four.

Thanks Timmah.

Yeah I did know that later in the year the Raiders would have had quite a few mn games.

At least this one's at home....hate it when storm play away 2 consecutive weeks...feels like a month tbh.

Looks like Finch will be missing this game.

Really? I can't pick this one. Melbourne weren't utterly convincing tonight and Canberra look closer to winning every week.

Going to muck up our combos again without Finch...though I would love to see his feet tackle again to convince me he should be suspended.

We really haven't looked convincing all year really but managing to win some games..

 

[aussies1st]

The Storm will take it, the Raiders are all over the place atm and we absolutely hate playing the Storm. We will need a miracle to win.

 

[Timbo]

We haven't beaten Melbourne for...ever?

Melbourne by 6-7 million.

 

[AILD]

We haven't beaten Melbourne for...ever?

Melbourne by 6-7 million.

nah we arent that great this year...more like 1-2 million.

 

[kia ora storm]

The Raiders will be in this till the finish...they will guts it out and if they do this then this game could go either way.

pfft nice heritage match this.

Melbourne getting back to their best, canberra getting worse.
Raiders by 10.

just joking; melbourne will win very comfortably.

 

[raiders fan forever]

Not sure this week i tipped raiders on the poll here to help us out but in honesty melbourne should win easily

Melbourne 34
Raiders 8

 

[MsStorm]

We are all being nice to one another atm..but wait till late on monday night!

 

[Butters]

Melbourne 40+

It's not a case of Raiders fans being nice in this thread, it's just that we know there is no possible way our team will ever beat the Storm, ever.

I was convinced after we lost 4 or 5 in a row that there was some sort of curse put on us, then when it got to 8 or 9 other people started noticing it, now that it's up to about 13 or 14 I dont even bother caring anymore - it's an automatic loss no matter how good our team would be playing or how poorly your team would be playing.
