'12 | R13 | Sat | Raiders 0-40 Tigers | Canberra

[bottle]

Sound like a bit of panic stations to me. Might prove to be a masterstroke, or just a stroke.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Dont know how Dugan is going to defend in the line with a busted shoulder. Furner may aswell just play Robinson at 5/8th. He looks like he could handle it ok.

Williams couldn't defend the line with two good shoulders so nothing much changes there.

 

[Pete Cash]

Just park Papalii or someone next to him all game and go for it. The facts are he is the most skilled player in the side and he needs to be getting his hands on the ball more. I am willing to give him quite a few weeks to settle into the role. Its probably his long term position imo. Especially with question marks around Campo and his long term future. Unless Wighton really steps up.

As it stands right now the most skilled spine we can put on the field is Robinson, Dugan, McCrone and Berrigan.

 

[MacDougall]

Given an even share of field position and possession the Tigers will score more points but not THAT much more, so holding on to the ball is paramount for the Tigers here. Pretty simple equation for them.

 

[The Joker]

Is it true Jack Wighton is out because he f*cked himself up on a trampoline?

 

[I Bleed Green]

Yep.

Likely gone for the season because he's done ligaments in his toe because he was playing on a trampoline.

Deadset we have the worst luck when it comes to injuries it's depressing.

 

[northwest9]

Good post moron we have one of our worst records against them :lol:

Benji has lost ONE game in his career against the Raiders.

Good comprehension spastic. I never said you always beat them. Yes, the tigers have the wood on you, but they are always great games, with lots of feeling in them.

 

[gronkathon]

WT dont respond well to the unknown, Raiders will probably beat us here.

Bad news for Raiders fans is that we will make Croker look so good he will get a five year contract extension and next week will go back to being bog average

Despite his sh*t form he is still the leading point scorer in the comp. Which is amazing considering how awful his goal kicking has been of late.

Why is that bad news? Croker is the best young centre in the game.

 

[I Bleed Green]

...best young centre in the game at missing a ton of tackles and misreading defense? Why yes, I agree.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

He is still very young though. If he does eventually sort his defence out, he'll be one of the games best centres.

 

[munge]

he is probably saying that in reference to last time the raiders played the tigers at campelbtown in round 4 this year on monday night football where canberra won 30-16 and croker had an awesome game scored probably 16 points maybe more including two tries where one was the length of the field and the other he just barged through three people so he has the wood over the tigers.

His kicking for goal definitely steps up a notch v the Tigers..

I see what you did there....

:lol::lol:

One of your best

[Vic Mackey]

Ayshfords in doubt, I don't think he was ever going to play.

The sensible thing to do would be to put sironen or humble in the halves but I expect super coach put Lawrence at 5/8 and reddy into the centers.

 

[VictorTheViking]

Tigers 40-12

 

[MSIH]

Love a good old Canberra v Tigers game. Can't wait.
