If any Newcastle fan is seriously expecting them to win, they have rocks in their head. Every person is the Raiders team, bar McCrone, is easily better than their Newcastle counterpart (taking into account where the backs will play).
1. Dugan >>>>> Gidley
2. Monaghan >>> McManus
3. Croker >= MacDougall
4. Mogg >> Sa'u
5. Vidot >= Uate
6. Campese >>>>>>>> Rogers
7. McCrone < Mullen
8. Tilse >> Cross
9. Waddell (when starting) >= De Gois
10. Shillington >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tolar
11. Picker > Taia
12. Harrison >> Paterson
13. Miller >>> Taufua
14. Mataora >>>>>>>> Hilder
15. Thurling >>>>> Naiqama
16. Learoyd-Lahrs >>>>>>> Fa'aoso
17. Logan >>>> Kaufusi
18. Galea > Nobody
Even with his bad attack, Campese will have no problem ripping through the Knights defence.
