I hope the helmet on Viktor the Viking is a plastic one because there's going to be a lightening strike at Canberra Stadium next Monday Night.

 

[Ice777]

I'd like to think we'll be able to get over the line here given we've got a pretty good record against the Raiders and at the stadium. But they showed a lot of ticker to come back and beat the Tigers yesterday so the boys wouldn't want to go up there complacent at all.

 

[Dani]

Canberra have been our bitches since 02. Can't see it changing.

 

[Hoggy]

This is the game where we were our original strip yes?

 

[skeepe]

Canberra Raiders 32 Melbourne Scum 16

 

[Timmah]

Mock up of it - it's not vastly removed from your original.

Flesh version:

 

[skeepe]

They're making them out of flesh? Eww.

 

[Raider_69]

if we play like we did in the 2nd half, we can beat melbourne
if we play like we did in the 1st half, melbourne will put 50 on us

My tip: melbourne by as many as they like

 

[mxlegend99]

Storm - 42 (Tries: Slater x3, Quinn x2, Folau x2, Smith x1. Goals: Smith 5/8)
Raiders - 20 (Tries: Purtell x2, Carney x1. Goals: Carney 4/4)

IMO Storm will have a massive win. Even though the Raiders at home are tough to beat.

 

[gorilla with a shotgun]

Canberra by 18 surprising everyone even 99% of Raiders fans. This is the most optimistic ive been for a fair while. More confident we will beat the storm than i was confident we would beat the Tigers and Dragons. Since 04 onwards i was happy whenever we scored a try against them but this game will be different

Flesh version:

honestly, whoever designed the storm's jerseys should be shot
couldn't they at least have tried to do something to integrate that medibank logo, rather than just whacking it on

Agreed. But it's been done to death.

[Shorty]

I may choose this as my upset match - Raiders are dangerous at home and have sustained this and I'm not convinced that Melbourne are back to their best.

 

[Macko8]

raiders by 10

 

[(KW)]

Raiders 13+

 

[Hoggy]

Storm by 64.

 

[Dani]

Only 64?

 

[perverse]

if canberra play in the first half against the storm like they played in the first half against the tigers.. the storm will have already put 40 points on them by half time. if canberra can sort that out.. and carney gives them a bit more direction.. it could be a close match.

i can't possibly tip the raiders for this one, but i think if they can come out well in the first half then it'll be a good match.
