'13 | R16 | Fri | Rabbitohs 32-2 Raiders | ANZ

[Ziggy the God]

Wouldn't surprise me if Inglis and Merritt are given the week off

I reckon GI won't back up, Max should be ok.

 

[SaraSassypants]

Seeing as we've worked hard to build our little 3 point buffer I hope we use it to benefit ourselves.

I hope GI is rested even if he is fit. Don't want him doing a Hayne and getting injured from playing too much too quickly. We don't need to put him through 2 games in 48 hours. We've earned the luxury of being in a position to rest him.

Even if we lose we're still coming 1st and I'd rather we minimise risk.

Does this also mean you'll be able to 'relax and just enjoy it without stressing the result as much as usual' like last time vs Sharks?

In the end as long as we're first it doesn't matter. Being first by 1 point or 3 or 33 doesn't count for anything at the end of the season.

All that matters in the regular season is we get the minor premiership so we have a significant trophy for the first time in my lifetime and so we have the best possible draw in September.

Dont give us much of a chance at winning this, at our best we could push souths to the brink but we are far from our best, souths by 13+

 

[Beetlejuice]

Canberra peform well against the big teams, but this might be a bridge to far. Would not be surprised if I see them winning he game. Typical Raiders.

 

[Raider_69]

Definitely a bridge to far

With Edrick Lee, Fergo, White, TLL (fit and firing) and Papalii not backing up on Origin, id give us some hope. But unfortunately without them, we arent much chance imo.

I can see us sticking with them and making a game of it for 60 minutes, but it could blow out a bit in the final 20.

 

[BranVan3000]

I feel like your team hates playing us, we put a number on you twice last year and you haven't beaten us since 2009. But who knows

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Meh who knows with us. Hope we at lest make a contest of it.

 

[DC_fan]

Lets see, the Raiders have played 8 games away from home this season for just one win. On average they have lost each away game by a score of 26-12.

I say Souths by 40.

 

[BunniesMan]

f**king rain. Usually helps keep things close and levels teams that are unequal in talent.

 

[Hutty1986]

No surprise to see a f*ckwit like Bunniesmong is in love with a f*ckwit like LeBron James

 

[Misanthrope]

Raiduhs are awful on the road. Souths are good.

Souths by 16.

The raiders are probably the worst side at controlling a ruck in the comp because of your forwards we will always struggle. Its why our records improved against the storm. They will obviously own us in the rucks but we are big enough to offset at out best and they struggle to contain Ferguson.

You guys are bigger than us. We at full strength have a better 3/4 line but who cares probably the least important position on the field and we aren't near full strength

f**king rain. Usually helps keep things close and levels teams that are unequal in talent.

Oh how times have changed.

 

[Pete Cash]

Souths have a big pack the rain would suit them.

 

[Card Shark]

Looking forward to watching the Raiders tonight. Refreshing to see them get a start on a Friday night.

They'd better bring their A game though or they will be spanked.

 

[BranVan3000]

f**king rain. Usually helps keep things close and levels teams that are unequal in talent.

And you wonder why people hate you? f**king mong

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Watching us on free to air is as rare as us winning away from home.

I'm tipping the rabbletohs with Merritt scoring 4.

Something strange could happen.

What did I say that was so wrong? Who would argue that the Raiders have as much talent as the team coming first?
