I have no idea why, but I just have no excitement or buzz about this game. I was so excited for last week, following all the stories and checking fox sports every half an hour, and then as soon as the game started all of a sudden I just didn't care as much. I have no idea why, I'm hoping I catch the excitement again. This week I don't think I've read a single story, it just isn't getting my attention for some reason.

I've got a feeling the start of NFL season might be the reason though.
This post feels like something that should be written in a pink diary. One with a lock on it,

I have heard that Cummins is or was a Panthers supporter. So he goes out of his way to seem unbiased. I wish the merkin would go and support Brisbane or the Storm.

Well he's actually from Canberra and I thought he was biased against us for that reason. A Canberran Penrith supporter, he's at a crossroads lol

ACTPanthers is Ben Cummins!...You owe Jake Friend an apology.

At least you're not as hateful towards the Raiders as fellow Canberra resident Hutty1986 though. That guy's got issues.

maybe because 2 of our best players are f**king injured right at the business end of the season. Such a typical thing to happen to the Raiders. This club just has no luck...

Any chance they play Austin and baptiste as the 9 rotation? It would leave Williams at 6 and would be less disruption from the team that's played the last few weeks while austin has been out.

Highly unlikely. Austin has only missed 2 games so it’s not much a disruption anyway.

Stuart doesn’t like changing up the team dynamic so you won’t see players out of position unless the issue is forced.

Makes sense. Does Canberra have other good options? Or do you think they risk baptiste for 80?

Clay Priest is out for the season after breaking his ankle. The injury gods certainly are giving us a fisting at the right time of the season.
