Does the score board at AAMI Stadium have enough digits to cope?

 

[Timbo]

I'm frightened.

Does the score board at AAMI Stadium have enough digits to cope?

That remains to be seen, but my sources are telling me that they have had to employ more staff for this one event.

[raiders fan forever]

Just the one vote for Canberra - raiders fan forever. You must be last in your tipping comp buddy :lol:

For what it's worth I get the feeling when Campese returns this club will shrug off this malaise and make a hard run.

:lol: gotta give the raiders some love

Mark my words Raiders are gone for the season...WILL NOT MAKE THE 8, even if they had 13 campese's on the field.

You think you are the first to make this BOLD statement?

 

[Paullyboy]

I won my tipping comp last year.

I'm 5 off the pace this year and blame the Raiders solely for that. Not only are they killing me on the field, they are hurting my chance at winning another gorilla.

Storm 50+

Nothing good can come from this game for the Raiders. If they play like they have all year, they'll get murdered by 50. If they really dig in and put together a solid 80min performance, they'll still lose by 13+ and all it will do is dent their confidence even further.

At the end of the day, the raiders have to win a game before they even think about "turning it all around". Not just a good performance, they need to f'ing win. Bottom line.

But they cannot win this game.

I see the final report into the Storm's cap rorts has come out. Excellent. Clearly we needed them to be even more fired up for this game. Thanks NRL.

 

[eagles4eva]

Storm by whatever score they want...

Why would we want 13 Campese's on the field? I imagine our forward pack would get crushed every week.

 

[Paullyboy]

To be honest it probably wouldn't, he's not that small and big forwards being effective has proven to be a myth once again this season.

Different Team to last year Skeepe...will not be a factor IMO.

The weather is bad in Melbourne at present so this could even it up tomorrow...

 

[bomberman]

I can see Storm being flat for this one after last weekend. I actually think the Raiders are in with a chance of an upset.

Storm by 4.

 

[Raidersrawesome]

I think they should try alot of inside balls to a backrower, someone like a Galea, because if you keep doing that it is a sure fire plan for success

If you fail try , try again. If not Galea maybe Miller , I enjoy watching our players run back into the defence.

That play drives me nuts , we do it so often with no success.

Williams to play , Orford out.
