Timmah your turning all of these threads into stickies.

 

[Timmah]

Not sure if you've noticed but that's the way it's been all year. Current round gets stickied. The Monday game for the previous round gets unstuck after it's been played so it stays stickied the full 7 days.

 

[cupid]

Oh, keep doing what your doing then.

 

[Timmah]

Will do ;-)

 

[Proud2BeCanberran]

Raiders to get absolutely hammered.

We are pathetic.

 

[Eelectrica]

Raiders can't play away from home, or in the second half, warriors simply can't play.
Who to pick, who to pick :-k

 

[Timmah]

I think someone described it best in another thread for Round 7, this looks like it will be two geniuss in a pillow fight.

 

[Rovelli]

Pretty innovative kickoff time...I like it.

As for this game:

Raiders have imploded twice in a row at home after building up a big lead. They are also hardly successful away from home, and I don't think they have beaten us at Mt Smart since Round 1, 2001 (I might be wrong there).

We've been gutless in the past two weeks, showing nothing on attack or defense. At home this year, we've been utter sh*te against Manly and Penrith, and only beat Cronulla.

Hardly innovative - they did it last year. It's forced upon them with no MNF due to the test match the following week.

Gee thats a bit rich coming from a Bulldogs supporter.

 

[Timmah]

We're in the top 8. With our form this season, I'm happy we're even up there.

Where are the Warriors? :?

 

[Fast Eddie]

You've beat the Tigers and an average Brisbane side after losing to us and getting smashed by the Rabbits. I would hardly say your team is anywhere good enough at the moment to throw out insults at other sides.

 

[aussies1st]

Won't be expecting anything but a loss, so hoping it turns out like the Eels game.

Raiders to lead 90-0 half time and lose 91-90

:lol: I love how you sum up the Tigers in a couple of words without actually having to give a reason why... then move onto how average Brisbane is - and completely ignore our 60-14 thumping of the Roosters.

As I said, our club is above 8 others in the league at the moment and I'll gladly throw insults at two clubs in poor form - Canberra and New Zealand - who happen to be playing each other in what shapes as a cripple fight this weekend.

For the record I hope to be proven wrong, as both these sides are capable of playing some exciting and free-flowing footy.

 

[One Warrior]

Raiders to lead 90-0 half time and lose 91-90

That would be some game to watch and also truly epitomise the roller coaster Warriors.:lol:

 

[kia ora storm]

Warriors by 10...Ropati to hold a pass at least once.

 

[Dr Crane]

raiders by as many as they'd like. we're trash.

 

[Greenbits]

raiders by as many as they'd like. we're trash.

Have you seen us play this year?

Our chosen method of loss is spontaneous combustion
