2016 Wk 2 Semi - Raiders 22-12 Panthers @ GIO Stadium

[BxTom]

Anyone watch Friday fever on nrl.com?

Adrian lam saying that he's played many times with hodgson's injury. Said with a needle you don't know there's anything wrong.

If it was such a simple thing to needle up a player and put him on why was he in severe doubt? It would suggest that the injury may be worse than that which Lam had...

Tom.

Well clearly the talk about Moylan breaking his jaw was complete rubbish. He just won us the coin toss. Hopefully not the only thing we win

 

[Nealo 12]

Well ABC Radio reporting that Waqa Blake is out.

Gus twatted that info today.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Blake OUT, Hardaker centre, Leota IN. No TMM.

 

[Nealo 12]

My bad just saw that now.

Raiders only change from the team named is Paul Vaughan in for Priest... they get a f**king stronger team.

Panthers seemingly had no injury concerns and now have to carry Zac Hardaker for 80 minutes.

What's all this Hardaker bashing? Blokes fairly solid every time he takes the field.

 

[umina panther]

Typical pommy back (not up to NRL)

 

[Nealo 12]

Well I guess we'll find out what he's got tonight then.

 

[GongPanther]

Hope I end up with Egg on my face,but I'm afraid they have thrown Hardacker in the deep end against Canberra's centre pairing.

 

[OzDragon]

Good ol Nein stealing Vikings intro song for their intro..

They've done that with quite a few movies/tv shows as well over they years.

 

[carcharias]

In all fairness they would have lost without them anyway (well Hodgson - maybe not so much Austin) - so it's a risk they have to take. Absolute worst case scenario they both go down during the game but the consequence of that would be the same as not playing them to begin with.

True
But I'm thinking about 2 injured blokes on the feild deletes 2 bench spots .
They might be ok to play .
But it doesn't say much about depth.

Tough call either way

 

[veggiepatch1959]

Finally two teams I don't want to see lose. But I have a slight leaning to the Panthers despite the fact I can't stand Josh Mansour.

 

[Paullyboy]

Austin will be fine, I reckon he would have played last week if we didn't think we'd win and get a week off.

Josh is a good Christian lad.

Raiders entitled to be favouritism. We've already achieved a good season with top 6 considering we have a new coach and re-invented our team mid way through the season.

For Raiders to be knocked out in straight sets at home would be more of a let down for them. We are capable of winning but they are rightly expected to. Happy to be the underdog.

I think Canberra will win this. Hope it's a good game like the last night.
