2017 R12 Sun - Raiders 24-16 Roosters @ GIO

[Unscrupulous]

At least that's against Souffs. If you don't win that game, even without the Origin players, you may as well give up on this season.

Watch it happen. I swear to god.

Whoever did the draw really f**ked it up.

Today is our first home game since April 21, our next one is on June 24.

Raiders fans should give up now

I guess it evens out. The away game prior to that, June 10, is our last away game until July 30 or thereabouts.

That is deifnitely the worst feature of the draw in respect to this game.

How much more adversity do the raiders have to overcome? It just isn't fair.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Wow I've just checked the Raiders draw for the reason of the season.

Holy shit talk about running the gauntlet.

Good luck making the 8. Be an amazing effort if they do.

 

[Paullyboy]

Cordner is a poor man's josh Jackson, and josh Jackson is bog average.

As a Queenslander, I know full well we have you lot covered if Cordner is your answer.

Such objectivity. Great to see.

If the Roosters had their Origin players they would've won easily today.

Good Luck to the Raiders they can only play against what's in front of them but this years Raiders team has nothing over last years Raiders team.

Their bench looks like a throwback to the 1999 Wests Magpies.

So the depth that was pretty great last year has evaporated completely.

And with the halves playing very poorly on the whole I think they'll struggle to make the 8 having checked their draw - which is insanely tough.

Anyone saying Cordner isn't up to scratch obviously doesn't watch the bloke play. He is miles above any second row in the game, bar Gillette who is probably equal.

You watch cordner he makes 10-15 metres every run and is almost guaranteed to find his front for a quick play the ball. That alone creates so many holes for any team. He also is one of the best defenders in the league.

I love pappali and on his day he can be the best second rower in the world, but it's about once every 6 weeks.

 

[nick87]

No he really doesn't.

They're hands down the two best edge backrowers in the comp. Cordner is immense for us.

Although it must be said that Papa will be warming that bench for the Roos for many years to come as that left edge is Cordner's.

No need
They can both play and start. Papa being the superior and more rounded player can play both sides
Makes sense to keep the limited player in his spot and let Papa do his thing on the right ;-)

Both tremendous footballers though

Yeah, edrick lee has been a huge loss.

No one has said Cordner isn't up to scratch

 

[Bowzy]

Great one mate, I'll come and have serious chat to you when papa is a part of a premiership winning team. I can guarantee that It will never happen.

Well at least the raiders being terrible has an upside

 

[nick87]

Hahah ooooof. Bowzy will need to pick that one out of his net.

 

[ed-grimley]

The commentary team must have used every form of the word dominate.
