[Walt Flanigan]

Big big game for us. We win this and I can’t see us finishing outside the Top 4.


Trouble is that Melbourne are by far and away the best defensive team in the comp and I think they’ll frustrate the hell out us.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Waiders by 8

 

[thorson1987]

Either us in a close one or Raiders will blow us away.

 

[The_Shield]

The best offence up against the best defence. It'll be interesting to see who comes out on top. Storm need to improve over their last couple of games. But I think they will be up for this one. Does anyone know how Blake Austin is? Will he play?

 

[thorson1987]

Surely all of the raiders usual hot and cold players are due for a shit game.

Its been awhile for them.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Fox must be loving all these Top 4 clashes they’re getting.

 

[Clifferd]

This should be on a Sunday arvo , guarentees 20k+

Either way should be great

 

[Vic Mackey]

Should be a great game, gunna go with the raiders by 2

 

[moffla]

We've been lucky of late so I'm expecting a loss. Might be the kick in the arse we need to get back into full swing though. Raiders by 4

I think the game against the bunnies was a real wake up call. Bellamy and Smith weren't too happy after it. They'll be better this weekend

 

[Hawkins]

I'm taking my Dad to the game, I obviously want the raiders to win, but kinda hope its a good game to watch live also.

 

[GongPanther]

Melbourne had their heads on this game last week when Souths thought they played well enough to win.

Canberra to realise how a game is going to be played the hard way,although the Raiders to complete a great finish by scoring in the corner to squeeze out a win by the barest of margins by 54-16.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Austin has been cleared of serious injury and should be good to go.

 

[Timmah]

For those going - as per the opening post there's no U20s at the ground on Monday - being played instead at ol' Seiffert on Saturday evening.

 

[matrightyeh]

great game going storm thou

 

[Whino]

Should be a good game shame its on a bloody Monday. Storm by 1.

 

[ed-grimley]

Anything could happen.

 

[TheFrog]

The Raiders seem to have realised their potential in recent times, in fact they are just about the form side in the comp. The Storm appear to be slumping like all the other Qld sides, and I think this will be a bridge too far.

I agree we are a bit rough at the moment but we are streaks ahead of Broncos and Cowboys currently.
