ahhh your learning Tatey, quick snappy question or two then let them on their merry way

agree

they have a lighter forward pack, but their play the balls are a lot faster negating any line speed defence

If only we had a lighter pack.

I think a good forward pack in form will kill them pretty easy though. Especially as the year goes on and fatigue and niggling injuries set in

The Raiders always seem to have our measure down there. Regardless of their result tonight, or ours, it would be a pretty brave person to predict an Eels win next week based on previous form.

Well yeah but I'm talking about their pack not our game against them...

Considering our pack will be playing their pack next week I feel it has some validity regarding the discussion. We have a bigger pack and should have it over them in that regard, supposedly.

Manly winning was a bit of a let downer but all QLD based sides getting tanked brings a joy...

Who was the one saying Alvaro is on par with Jake triovijc. May of been Bazal.
Compared their stats. It is a good reason why stats mean little. They do have simmilar stats but one is the best forward or atleast top 5 in game and the other is an average NRL forward.

They don't have similar stats at all. And stats are a great measure of a player. You just need to compare players over a bigger sample than just one game.

Their lighter pack means they work harder, meaning their defence is better.

If only we had a lighter pack.

We still have a light pack. The only monster is Junior Paulo.

Stats do not show game changing plays especially in defense.Jake stopped Souths momentum with a few bone rattling tackles that swings the force back with your side. Plus the steam he takes out of the opposition by hurting them in tackles.
His efforts yesterday was one of the best I seen in a while from a forward.
