2019 GF | PREMIERS - Roosters 14-8 Raiders @ ANZ

[horrie hastings]

Are there any codes floating around for tickets ? Have a non ticketed membership but while I was waiting for the non ticketed members sale to come up last year someone emailed me what seemed to be a generic code and it worked .

The media narrative is more about how the Raiders defense has improved massively over last year, not that hard but the changes have been dramatic. There are still some weaknesses that can and will be exploited.

I don't think anyone has said the Roosters can't defend.What's been pointed out is that we used to just try and outscore the opposition rather than stop them scoring (if that makes sense). Defence has been the big improvement in the Raiders, nobody is saying we're the best at it.

Yeah that's all fair play. Will be interesting to see if it does become a defensive battle

We're definitiely not infallible. Souffs didn't offer much in our 20 and played very laterally. Melbourne hardly got a sniff at the line for most of the game. If you play deep in our 20 and get around Croker rushing in, you'll score at least one try there. I seem to recall long range tries being a theme between us this year too. Tupou over the top of Rapana is an obvious one as well.

If someone told me, this time last year, that the 2019 Raiders would be in the big dance then i would no longer sell them LSD.

Better off upping the price because you're obviously selling good sh*t.

If they truly believed what they told me, then they no longer needed my product imo

Here’s hoping ref’s boss Bernie doesn’t appoint his brother.

Nearly ruined that prelim with his terrible refereeing.

Should be Cummins based on performances over the weekend.

Raiders by 6.

That's what I'm expecting, with the occasional quick shift to Tupou's wing tossed in.

I can understand why Raiders fans would want Cummins.

I've not been to Olympic Park for at least five years - is there anywhere decent out there to go for a beer pre-game these days?

 

[SharkShocked]

I work here and the answer is categorically no.

I'm told there's a new bar called Locker Room near the station
haven't been.
Otherwise its the old Novotel Brewery bar
everything will be packed and a beer will cost about $11 haha

All codes so far are allocated to individuals based on their membership number, none of them are generic.

 

[Timbo]

Well, guess it'll be pre-gaming near central before boarding the express then.

So just standard Canberra prices these days...

Not if you want a full strength beer the precinct doesn't sell full strength on event days.

Go to city and get the train around 6. That has worked perfectly for me in 2013 and 2018.
