'10 | R8 | Sat 3pm | Warriors 16-23 Raiders | Mt Smart

[ozbash]

Herbert and Buttriss to start, Thompson and McCrone to the bench. Interesting.

so, who you backing Skeepey

 

[aussies1st]

With no Tongue our attack might flow better. I hope McCrone is 100% fit that way we can figure out if Tongue is the problem or not.

 

[skeepe]

Vidot is out, Drury Low to debut.

 

[abpanther]

Do you guys think Thurling will play 80mins?

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Wish this game could be put back two weeks when both teams will be close to full strength. You could almost make an entire team out of players who are either injured or not playing due to poor form.

1. Locke
2. Vidot
3. Monaghan
4. Mogg
5. Vatuvei
6. Seymour
7. Herbert - I assume he'll drop off the bench and he was the last spot I needed to fill.
8. Lillyman
9. Tongue
10. Price
11. Mannering
12. Fensom
13. Miller

Did I miss anyone?

This game is actually starting to feel like the Rabbitohs game where Sandow (and half a dozen others) made their debut. Raiders have been torn apart the last couple of days so it wouldn't surprise me to see the Warriors score early, pat themselves on the back and concede 20+ points before they realise the game isn't won based on the first tryscorer.

That's a lot of $$$/talent on the sidelines.

I'm surprised Justin Carney hasn't made his way back to 1st grade yet.

 

[Paullyboy]

Do you guys think Thurling will play 80mins?

Probably play 60, but he'll chalk up plenty of tackles in that time

 

[Raidersrawesome]

I'm surprised Justin Carney hasn't made his way back to 1st grade yet.

Not far off I reckon probably after the bye. He still looks a little big.
In an interview last weekend he said he needs to get some more match fitness , he also said he is happy with his confidence
He's playing for Souths Logan on the ABC this weekend in QLD.
It'll be interesting to watch his form.


Raiders to win , because I cant say anything else.

 

[kia ora storm]

Which Warriors will turn up ??...Maloney needs a big game. He has massive potential but just needs the structure around him to free him up and get his kicking game in order.

 

[aussies1st]

Hohaia at fullback should help Maloney out, as Hohaia was getting in the way of Maloney when at 5/8.

 

[Iafeta]

I think Seymour is the answer to that predicament kia ora. Maloney looks to be a very good #6 to me, someone who create on the edges, someone who can pinpoint a slow or tiring forward on the edges and go through to give a good ball for someone else, but I thought there were signs over the past two weeks that the forwards need someone a bit more experienced to direct them around. Seymour is that guy for me.

 

[skeepe]

The selection merry-go-round continues for Canberra, aparrently McCrone out and Herbert to start at half.

 

[Dr Crane]

and with 14 on the park the raiders u-20s go down 40-36

f**king cold here

Dickhead ref cost the Raiders an almighty comeback there. Well that and sh*t defence.

 

[skeepe]

Why do I bother watching the pre-game show? It's descended into a show that's more about the guys on the panel and less about the footy.

 

[Dr Crane]

if this crowd is over 6000 i'll be shocked. nobody here.

 

[skeepe]

When did Tallis become an old grandfather?

"Kids today... It's all Generation Y's fault..."

embarrassing.

 

[innsaneink]

:lol: This'll be good :lol:

Pull up a chair, crack a stubbie...the entertainments about to begin.

 

[skeepe]

I honestly can't remember the last time we won in Auckland.

 

[innsaneink]

LOL...wtf's that dickhead with the helmet doing, washing his hair with his urine?
Fkn raiders fans.....
