Round 18 v Canberra Sat 05/07/25

[bathtime]

Sloan and Finau score 3 each save as many with catches and last ditch tackles, Dragons survive late surge to win by 4

 

[blacksafake]

We seriously have to put lots of kick pressure on Fogarty to negate his big kicks. Our kick pressure and line speed is very bad and that must change otherwise we have no hope of winning

Yep
Try to make him run as he’s pretty slow

Cook and Liddle are very quick off the mark and they should harass Fogarty so much that he start's to make errors in his kicking.

 

[Gareth67]

If the boys are able to concentrate and tackle - tackle - tackle their little hearts out for the entire 80 minutes then
we will be in with a chance of upsetting the green juggernauts run at their home ground.

It would indeed be most encouraging to the players morale if they are able to beat Tricky Ricky’s mob , who are certainly headed for the semis and possibly further .

I am going for a huge upset and tipping the boys wearing the Big Red V by - 6 points . Remember - you read it here first !

No Red V we are wearing the Steelers away kit.

 

[Inisai Toga]

No Red V we are wearing the Steelers away kit.

Rarely win with that strip unfortunately

 

[Gareth67]

No Red V we are wearing the Steelers away kit.

That certainly changes the situation then Red V Dave , I will need to adjust my precise calculations , therefore my prediction shall be - by 4 points !

love your math's ol fela

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Raiders by plenty. Just need to accept the fact that there are so many players out, and we aren’t the best team with our full squad anyway

 

[bathtime]

Everything needs to go our way to even get close to them and that wont happen .......... they have speed to burn ..........

bit of speed on our wings too

 

[bathtime]

love your math's ol fela

i said a similar figure above, after leading 32-4 at half time

 

[Gareth67]

love your math's ol fela

Nice to hear from you once again jak , I thought that you may had been ill , however I had to dig out the old slide rule to arrive at correct answer for my prediction .

 

[jak]

had a bad fall playing table tennis and ended up with a case of vertigo for the past 3 months, bottle of scotch with my meds each day made me all better. PS that vertigo is a bitch to shake off, say high to ethel for me

Good to hear Dr Scotch made you better .........

 

[Wolfgang90]
