I think the Bulldogs will sh*t it in like last year. Canberra looked impressive yesterday, but with Henry back at the helm instead of Furner, and our boys firing up with the return of some recently injured cattle, I reckon we can put on a show here. Pity it's at ANZ

It's odd having the exact same feelings toward a game despite going for the other team. If the Raiders can, for once, put in 80 minutes of football and Henry chooses a decent team i think it'll be close. Keep J. Carney in the side and Buttriss at hooker and im optimistic.

Dogs to win in a crappy game.

raiders 1-12

I can see Justin Carney steamrolling Nick Youngquest to score in this one.

Raiders by 14 to keep their finals hopes alive.

A hard one to pick here... depending if SBW and a few others are returning then the Bulldogs should get home but if they are the same 1-17 that played Newcastle then I think the Raiders..

A fairly accurate summation I'm disappointed to say. While it was fun to watch the GM carve up yesterday, there wouldn't be too many Raider fans hearts warmed up just yet. We await the predictable crumble.

That being said, there's always optimism. We're a chance of naming the same 17 in consecutive weeks for the first time in a long, long time and hopefully we can remember how to hold onto the ball.

Doubt we'll have the same lineup, I'm confident at least 3-4 players will return from injury.

Very hopeful we won't see Daryl Millard, he was the worst on the park v Knights.

Raiders 1-12

 

[McLovin]

Raiders 13+ against the rabble...

 

[Eelectrica]

No Sonny Bill, I'm saying Raiders in a rare road win.

 

[RSK]

Great Raiders team.

Raiders by 13

f**k anz

 

[Timmah]

Is that the worst backline in the NRL guys?

 

[Timmah]

LATE MAIL​

Prop Jarrad Hickey has been cleared to make his return tomorrow, although officials maintain Sonny Bill Williams and fullback Luke Patten are no chance of doing the same.​

Centre Joel Monaghan will have a fitness test today on an abdominal strain, with Brett Kelly on standby.​

Dogs 1-12

 

[Timbo]

If Kelly comes in for Monaghan, we're stuffed.

Other than that I think the Dogs are just too down on cattle and we should be able to snare a road win. That Dogs backline is shocking...Definitely not the frightening Dogs side that they've had for the last few years.

 

[Rovelli]

No better chance for the Raiders to win again on the road. For some reason, after the euphoria of a big win over Brisbane last week, I think they drop their bundle on the road and watch the Dogs claim a messy win.
