2016 R26 - Wests Tigers 10-52 Raiders @ Leichhardt Oval

[GAZF]

Seeing them live the raiders are a genuinally massive team, I don't think I've ever seen a bigger team in all my years of watching footy. Every tackle they make is with intent. I don't think we've had one tackle where they didn't dominate the Ruck.

If Hodgson isn't the third best player in the comp behind smith and thurston I don't know who is.

I've got no doubt they'll pump the Sharks next week and are a massive chance of beating whoever a fortnight after that.

Tigers look to be surrendering in the tackle to get faster play the balls. It's the one area that they're doing better than the Raiders.

Cheers Tigs. Keep doing what you're doing.

It could be that, or it could be that we're just getting completely raped by a far superior team.

Where's the popemobile?

Raiders are looking to do opposite. Theyre either looking to bust, yardage or offload. Ill go with the Raiders method

The Raiders have come so far this year. A few years ago it was the TIGERS that were the fun team to watch on a Sunday with Robbie and Benji. Now its the Raiders who have that mantle

Raiders remind me of the 2009 Eels, yet have a better position on the ladder. Kind of snuck up on a lot of people, myself included, to be genuine threats in the finals.

The result is not that surprising.

What talent do the Tigers have? Seriously.... apart from Woods, Sue and Moses (potentially) they have a very basic team. Not sure what the Tigers fans were hoping for, especially given their best player is out.

Moses is a good player. The raiders are very successfully getting papalii one on one with him. How many halves in the comp win that.

The tigers have to stop it from happening.

 

[Spade]

I'm surprised one of the lesser teams haven't swooped on Sam Williams, blokes quality.

 

[Canard]

"We hate JT" sign on the Hill seems a bit OTT

Yeah thats right. Haynes team that came out of nowhere. True!

Raiders are my favourite of the contenders by far. Go Raiders for the premiership!

LOL! No f**king surprise whatsoever. A late shoulder charge from Ennis gets no charge whatsoever.

 

[Pete Cash]

Should sticky hook Hodgson for this half.

That's the thing. Tigers have allowed an 80kg 21 year old half get isolated one on one with a 110kg origin back rower 5m from the line. Whilst you'd like Moses to do better that's his inside defenders fault for mine.

Yep. And the bigger team probably helps big time in doing that. That method is only as good as your support play though.

 

[chigurh]

It's a BS rule but under the rule Ennis should not be playing next week. It's extraordinary how inconsistent the judiciary is.

Plz no.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Ennis not charged.....just wow

We were cursed the second you tipped us BM!

It was good while it lasted, Raiders fans.
