2017 R2 - Raiders 16-42 Sharks @ GIO

[Walt Flanigan]

Coming off a tough game up north, in heat and extra time... and the premiers coming off a loss... seems like a perfect storm for us to lose.

Not to mention that these two teams have a weird habit of winning at each others home grounds.

Taylor and middle haven't gone in the same sentence since 2006.

Raiders by 8

Yeah I don't know how it's going to work, one theory is that Papalii might kick inside to play some middle when Taylor comes on but I think Taylor is going to spend a bit of time as a middle forward

We'll see how successful that is or isn't soon I suppose. People are right to be skeptical of him as a middle forward though

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Priest won't be missed. Tapine will be.

Sharks are smarter than us, every team in the comp is smarter than us.

Close one but the sharks will beat us.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Scott Sorensen coming in for Priest. Probably didn't expect a crack this early.

 

[MilkShark]

I think the Raiders will win but when I look at their forward pack, I think the Sharks may stand a chance.

 

[Das Gupta]

Raiders by a couple.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Raiders once again to do all their clapping before the game.

Sharks by a dozen.

[Buzzard Breath]

Raiders at home.

 

[myrrh ken]

Raiders will be keen to exact revenge.

I'm hoping ill discipline will cost them like last time. Maybe from Leilua.

 

[Pete Cash]

I have a feeling we will play like aggressive lunatics and lose by 6 to 12 points. Sharks should stomp us down the middle but so did the cowboys and we hung on in that match

That said the heat might take its toll from the week before and we wont defend with the same intensity
