The scoreline isn't really an indication of how good the Raiders were but how much the Rabbits sucked.

Sezer and Austin need to lift against teams like the Storm, Sharks and Cowboys.

The Raiders winning by 50 is of exactly the same benefit to them as winning by 1, due to Golden Point.

As far as premiership credentials, well they'll get a shot, but it must be remembered the Broncos put 30 on the Rabbitohs and a lot of people were fooled by that. Next 2 games against Sharks and Storm will give us some idea where the Sticky's are.

How Dragons/Broncos on Thursday or Eels vs Manly on Friday (lol), have been selected over Sharks vs Raiders next week beats me... terrible terrible scheduling from 9
They use a formula.

Broncos>>>>Sydney Teams (some better raters than others, Sharks being one of the others)>>>>>Remainder.

Raiders are a member of the third group and thus don't get on FTA much, no matter how well they're going.

I remember the glory days of 2012-2015 when we were routinely smashing the Raiders. GI feasting on them was as regular as clockwork.

Well according to them, Knights v Sea Eagles trumps Storm v Cowboys
I think the problem here is that Townsville matches are always at night due to the climate, no fault of 9. The Cowboys ask for Saturday night so their supporters from hundreds of kms away can get to Townsville for the game.

We beat you last year and 2014. Might want to shorten your window.

But if you want a good example of routine smashings, look at the Raiders v Souths in the 90s......put 40+ on you guys on 8 occasions.

Its true that souths had the better of us during that period (4 wins compared to 2) but the average score was 30 v 19 so a two converted try margin. Hardly smashing.

Now today...that was a smashing.

I'm still a bit raw. Got rim raided on the field, had a five year old heckle me on the way out.

Ain't that a bitch.

My 7 year old who is a sharks fan gave me shit the whole way from the ground to the car when they beat us.

Ended up telling him he can walk home if he keeps going. It's a long walk from Cronulla to Minto.
