2018 R3 Sat - Raiders 19-20 Warriors @ GIO

Raiders fans, what is your best halves combo? Two years ago, Sezer and Austin lit it up, was that just a purple patch? Sticky is looking to trade Sezer , Williams is a journeyman at best, what's the answer?

sezer and austin are probably our best halves but 2016 was more hodgson, bj and rapana

None of the options are particularly appealing but imo, at their absolute best, no doubt its Sezer-Austin. Williams isnt in their realm talent/ability wise

at the end of the day it doesnt matter, as long as the coach is in place the halves will die. It's what he does

I actually don’t think they were that good in 2016 either. Our edges were just tearing teams to shreds, they just had to feed those guys the ball.

Setting Raiders HQ on fire with everyone in it.

I'd like to retrospectively change my vote this

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Our best halves are probably Charlie Gubb and Royce Hunt.

Who knows... I think Williams has a bit more creativity than sezer but his defence is terrible. Austin was very good last week but he's also a bit of a liability in D. With Hodgson on the field, out best combination is still sezer/Austin imo but without Hodgo's playmaking ability I can see why Sticky is persisting with Williams.

 

[Pete Cash]

sezer is by far the best defender of the halves. an austin williams future is grim defensively

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Attack really isn’t an issue for us anyway

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Geez I’d like to see more of that from Paulo

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Wish Gaz would get his tongue out of RTS’s arsehole

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I'd love to see Junior Paulo play at prop up the middle for a change rather than dummy half, half back or centre.

paulo has started the year slowly but i trust him to come good in attack. his defence is a bit lazy at times

like a lot of stickys plans he overdoes it. if paulo spends his entire time at centre he is just a gigantic slow centre and teams can plan for it. paulo is skillful but overdoing it makes him predictable

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Try to the great man.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Our shining light

 

[skeepe]

Wow, how strong is he?

 

[Pete Cash]

he is my special guy

 

[Someguy]

Warriors need to stop going left. Plenty of points to come attacking raiders left.

Looks a double movement to me, happy with the call either way

Another of Ricky's plans is replacing Boyd with Paulo every game, mix it up a bit, keep them on the field together maybe for a while now and then
