[2 weeks]

Raiders due to the jinx factor.

 

[Das Gupta]

Dragons maybe.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Dugan and frizzell zero chance of backing up. Raiders by 6

 

[Hawkins]

C'mon green machine

 

[Clifferd]

Winter Friday night in Canberra. Ouch

Raiders by 10

 

[FireFalcons1]

An inconsistent Raiders against a Dragons team on the slide? This is probably the hardest game to tip this week.
Surely Canberra will manage to get a win in front of a home crowd.

Raiders by 8

 

[GongPanther]

Canberra can still make the finals providing everything goes thier way.

Raiders by 14.

 

[Timmah]

Raiders due to the jinx factor.

I thought that curse had reversed now? Dragons haven't lost to Canberra since 2013.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Ah sh*t, we have to play again. Last weekend was so relaxing.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

I thought that curse had reversed now? Dragons haven't lost to Canberra since 2013.

Turns out the Benji Marshall curse was stronger than the Raiders hoodoo over the Dragons. Will be interesting to see what happens now.

 

[lockyno1]

Friday night game just lol

 

[Pete Cash]

Will the Raiders fail and make me miserable

*shakes magic 8 ball*

all signs point to yes

 

[This Year?]

The derp factor will hit all new heights with Jack "simple man" Wighton and Josh "the oracle of derp" McCrone. I think the neutrals will enjoy this for the skeepeness and the all the saints fans facepalming.

 

[Hutty1986]

Winter Friday night in Canberra. Ouch

Raiders by 10

Nth qld won in Canberra a couple weeks back. Then again, they score tries and their players have brains.

 

[Vic Mackey]

I can't wait for this...the match day thread that is. The actual game will be terrible

 

[thommo4pm]

Dugan and frizzell zero chance of backing up. Raiders by 6

You are way too generous to us. If we only lose by 6, I'll be stoked.
This is going to be ugly for us.

 

[footy75]

Raiders will win this.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

so if macdonald scoops up a grubber, beats 4 defenders and goes coast to coast for a 105m try it will still be the refs fault?

 

[Life's Good]

Raiders to give their fans a very small glimpse of what might have been.
