Raiders to take this one

 

[Nice Beaver]

Don't know why, just have a gut feeling we could spring the upset here.

Could just be the butter chicken I had for lunch playing up on me.

Manly by 4.

Raiders only just.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

I think we’ll get the job done. We seem to be improving every week and that Canberra cold is on it’s way.

 

[Todd Hoffman]

Manly.

 

[Lambretta]

I am looking forward to this game as much as any this week and they've stuck it on at 6pm on Friday the wankers

I haven't seen a single 6pm Friday game other than the Roosters one I attended

I can barely get home by 6 (mostly it's 6.30) and the TV is under the control of the kiddlings
As it's on Fox I can't watch on any of the spare TV's in the house

So I can record the game and wait until they go to bed and watch the game around 9pm - then watch the 8pm game at 11pm
Or I can just give up and watch the 8pm game live which is what I do

f**k this scheduling - I might have to hang in the City and watch this in the pub

Raiders in a closer game than many will think

The thing that we have going for us in this game is that manlys defence outwide this year has been generally pretty bad. The centres are missing a lot of tackles and the left edge in particular struggled against the storm.

Walker and kelly have something like 45 missed tackles between them.

This is an area we are normally pretty strong in.

The thing that worries me is that manly scored points on the storm who are better than us defensively.

Should be a good game.

 

[nick87]

These early Friday night games can be a little weird, expecting a very tight game. Hopefully the Raiders can continue to defend well, if we can keep them to 3 or less tries, we should win

 

[ed-grimley]

This will probably be a tryfest - Manly by a converted try.
