R 22 v Raiders Sat 2/8/25 5.30pm

[rasaint]

I’m not expecting much today.
We ( like Souths) have been smashed by long term and season ending injuries this year. Wayne Bennett hasn’t suddenly become a hopeless coach. Hoping for a miracle underdog win in the wet.

 

[John moz]

Canberra will again dominate in the wet today with high bombs to our back 3 on last tackle.
We have no kicking game to manage a game like today possibly a 30+ Raiders win.

We need to have our edge forwards, rush the Raiders' Kicker on the last tackle. If possible, they should time their run in a way that the kicker is smashed.

If Leilua can't move quickly enough to do this, put him in the prop rotation and make it, select
Halangahu as the edge forward and give that job as a priority task for that game.

Good luck.to the fans going today.

Its a shocker of a day weather wise.

 

[thebigredv]

I know I struggle to see silver linings but it really does suck that our home ground advantage is likely to be washed away with this weather. It was the only thing in our favour.

Crowd likely to be tiny I'd imagine.

This year has been tough.

 

[jeffdragon]

We have breeze in first half.

They will ring over the top of us.
Not even getting close to their line in 2nd half.
Can see it now and seen it before.

When you've seen it a thousand times before it becomes quite predictable.

I'll pray for a miracle that we even keep it close.
Expect one team to exploit the other team's weaknesses.
I remember a game in the wet a few years ago against an average Knights team. They picked us apart with their kicking alone.

Hoping the Raiders have read all the press and back slapping for where they are on the table , and have an off night
Testing conditions tonite where ball control and field position imperative ..
Titans almost proved that anything is possible in the NRL

 

[Dragsters]

GO THE MIGHTIES!!!

 

[thebigredv]

Play constantly breaks down with Kyle Flanagan.
The coach needs to put aside his allegiance.

 

[thebigredv]

Great kick by Kyle in this weather.

 

[TruSaint]

Dumb error after points.

 

[thebigredv]

Guler lucky we didn't concede from that one. Let's see if he learns his lesson.
Need attention to detail in these conditions.

 

[carltonsouth79]

In this wind, Flanno Jr will look like Burton!

 

[carltonsouth79]

Can’t see how they can overturn that

 

[thebigredv]

Good defence whatever happens there. Well done.

 

[carltonsouth79]

Has the hill ever been closed before for safety? I can’t recall ever hearing that

 

[shiloh dc]

In this wind, Flanno Jr will look like Burton!

Into this wind, Fogerty looks like Fogerty.

 

[thebigredv]

Liking Leilua's involvement.

 

[carltonsouth79]

Hope Guthos okay
