'13 | R5 | Sun | Raiders 24-22 Roosters | Canberra

Interesting fact that Luke Phillips is refereeing this game.

This would have to be the first time a referee is controlling a match of a team he used to play for, surely?

A Raiders junior too. Played 1 game of first grade for us.

 

[Danish]

so he did.

So he is reffing 2 of his former clubs. Should keep it nice and balanced then

 

[bileduct]

I have no confidence in us at all this weekend.

So we should win.

 

[bileduct]

Apparently Wighton is out.

 

[SydneyRaider9]

Think we might struggle to contain SBW and JWH. Roosters by 12

 

[Horrie Is God]

I'm hoping we don't have a "let down" week coming off such a comprehensive win..

I'll take any win in the wet in Canberra..And if we keep defending like we have done over the last 2 weeks,i reckon we can get the chocolates..

So Easts by 1..

 

[Pete Cash]

Croker becomes the second youngest raider to hit 100 games this weekend. He is like the fifth highest capped player in the team.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Only 3 less than Campese.

 

[Pete Cash]

Looks like milford will play from the bench. That's the word in the press

 

[woodyk2]

Roosters by not much.

 

[blacklock]

roosters with ease. theyre a good team flying under the radar

 

[Big_nick]

Milford to debut.
I think the raiders will surprise them..

 

[skeepe]

For the Raiders, Buttriss and Thompson out, McIllwrick and Edwards to start, Milford and Picker on the bench.

Roosters have Tupou and Guerra out, Oldfield and O'Donnell in.

What happened to the pre game show?

Under the radar you reckon? 50-0...

Probably Roosters 1-12.

 

[Cartman]

What happened to the pre game show?

Much better to show some athletics and old retired Wallabies apparently. :roll:

Hope Milford goes well.

 

[blacklock]

Under the radar you reckon? 50-0...

Probably Roosters 1-12.

thats against a crap team. at the start of the year they were expected to suffer through losing anasta, not to mention the doubters over the signing of sbw. so in that respect theyre over achieving expectations. if they keep their form...then suddenly other teams will start taking notice of them. (this is in contrast to the storm, which every team expect to reach the gf)

(not to mention if its a cold / slippery night... the raiders bigger men may find it harder to gain traction)

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Great defense Raiders

 

[skeepe]

:lol: Pearce

 

[Pete Cash]

Not a bad start for us

 

[skeepe]

Looked like a knock on
