The Raiders should get their first back to back to back win in a long time unless they fall asleep and let the Roosters walk over them.

LOL. Canberra dont win 3 in a row :-(

 

[Walt Flanigan]

What will happen is that we'll get smashed by the Roosters this week and then towel up the Bulldogs the week after.

 

[matrightyeh]

very average game who cares who wins really

That doesn't make sense....


























































... However, considering we are talking about the Raiders, it is more than likely this will happen.

 

[Jobdog]

Can someone explain to me how these two disgraceful teams have Shayne Hayne refereeing?

Bill Harrigan should be sacked.

 

[Raider_69]

Belting going on here

Roosters by plenty, its just what we do here in Canberra

 

[Spot On]

Have to hand it to the Raiders. To be on the cusp of the eight, and really, with two gimme games remaining they could sneak in the eight all with a very ordinary halves pairing and no hooker.

What could have been.

You know things are bad when people consider Shane Hayne to be a good ref.

 

[Silent But Deadly]

Dugan will tear us a new one this week.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Raiders by plenty

 

[natheel]

Raiders by 20

 

[Raidersrawesome]

The results have fallen in the Raiders favour so far , this has turned out to be a must win.

 

[Pete Cash]

Roosters didn't train yesterday as it was too cold apaz.

I could not believe my eyes when I read that article this morning.

They trained in a hotel foyer? :lol:

I could be reading too much into it but it's like they've already mentally given up. Are you footy players or are you ballerinas? Why would you not want to train and replicate the environment you will be facing tonight? Bizarre.

 

[the dude]

Raiders by 6.

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Too scared to train in the cold. FMD that's weak.

If we turn up we'll put 50 on em. But given we're due another spaz game we'll prob end up with another belting at home.

Flip a coin and take 13+

 

[gypsy]

Roosters will get the cash here, too much class.

Let's hope Haynesy doesn't get swayed by the small but parochial home crowd, and keeps it 50/50 in the ruck.

we are not a good enough side to be reading anything in to this
let them do what they want, we need to come out with our heads screwed on ready to play 80 minutes of football
the roosters are good enough on their day to belt us, if we come out flat, thats exactly what will happen, cold weather or not


Gypsy in early on the butt hurt i see
