I had Canberra in the 8 a few rounds ago but they are going to be lucky to win another game all year now. Warriors & Sharks, tough games.

The return of Billy Tupou. Seems like a good bloke, hopefully he goes well for Canberra. You won't get any attitude issues with him.

We desperately need this win though... desperately. Cmon boys, lift your game, get the win, we need revenge after that debacle earlier this year in Canberra.

I think the Raiders can win this. There were obviously some lapses in the Sydney and Manly games, but they were still threatening at times. Probably the best sign is that, unlike the game against the Storm, they never gave up.

Milford and Campese in the halves is a key pairing. McCrone punched above his weight for a long time but he is no longer improving, and he stifles our attack with poor options and an ordinary kicking game.

Buttriss doesn't exactly set the world on fire at hooker, and I can't see why McCrone would be any worse at the job. I hope they interchange for each other, though.

Sandor Earl being injured is a plus. He is dead set f**king useless.

That's a bloody strong raiders side. Hope we get up though, specially after being raped by the refs last time.

Strong Raiders side?

No Blake Ferguson; Jack Wighton; Edrick Lee or Shaun Fensom.

Not a bad side, but weak mentally. Warriors should be too strong.

I could see Billy T scoring three tries in this one.

No doubt he'll be playing on his usual right wing, which will be against Vatuvei's masterful defense, so Billy scoring three tries goes from a possibility to a probability.

but the big man will have a lovable smile in his face when he misreads them so it will be perfectly fine
