I can only hope we hold the ball a lot better than we did against the Storm, Ash Graham will be back so that means no Hegarty which can only be a good thing. Ty Williams is a good stop-gap centre but the sooner Graham and Tonga are back and we can field our top backline the better.

Very impressed with Scott Bolton so far, he seems to have really stepped up his aggression and workrate. Webb needs to dip his hands in glue prior to kick off, his runs close to the line have worked well for 2 tries in the opening rounds and will work well against Canberras defense provided he doesnt keep spilling the bloody ball.

I think we can get a win down there but we will have to be on our game, the Raiders are just the type of team to flip a switch and put 50 on you if you have an off night.

 

[Mr Saab]

Puts on the "Shorty hat"
Raiders will win by 14.

 

[Shorty]

I agree, actually.
I can't see the Cows winning over in Canberra unless Henry gets stuck into them..

 

[Raider_69]

Its not quite desperation stakes yet for canberra but we're edging closer each week
in this comp you cant afford to give teams too big a head start, we need to win this week, get off the mark and release the pressure.

Massive game for the raiders... monday night, at bruce... we should win... but we should have beat the tigers round 1, parra round 3 and we didnt. So anything can happen.

 

[aussies1st]

I await our side tomorrow before predicting which way this will go but if Kelly is still on the wing then it isn't looking good for us.

 

[renouf]

Raiders are average, Cowboys should win this easily.

 

[The Colonel]

I'll take Canberra by eight.... cooler waether, a bit of rain. There fortunes have to change eventually....

 

[gorilla with a shotgun]

Raiders by 30 with Dugan in the team muhahahaha

 

[aussies1st]

Just need Waddell and Logan onto that bench and we have close to our best side. Can't wait to see Dugan again.

 

[MacDougall]

Oh baby I can't wait to see Dugan in the top grade. He is an absolute gun!

 

[kia ora storm]

Raiders by 10...they are due for a win and will match the attacking style of the Cowboys.

 

[Timmah]

*bumpity bump*

Cowboys by 10.

 

[Navjot]

Cowboys and only because of the Neil Henry factor.re:inside knowledge etc........

 

[Proud2BeCanberran]

Cowboys and only because of the Neil Henry factor.re:inside knowledge etc........

[VictorTheViking]

Woah things must be rough at Canberra when their number one supporter and beloved fan Spike tips the opposition.

Keep your chin up Spike, your favourite side the Canberra Raiders are going to turn it around.
