Tigers right side has conceded 11 tries this season (most of any side) and Benji has been cited with 6 'try-causes' from FoxSportsLab, the most of any half along with the most missed tackles and the worst TE%

I'm looking forward to watching Tommy Talau. Is this his debut?

He played for us once vs Manly last year. Looked ok but pretty raw

Reckon he’ll go better this time round but playing against a fired up Can-bra side will be tough. Benji said personally he’s the biggest talent coming through the juniors he’s seen since Tedesco so that’s a wrap

He isn’t a winger, played 5/8 all juniours and center once he got to nsw cup, will likely be restricted too being a dummyhalf runner as Mbye can’t set up his outside man for shit. Still he couldn’t be any worse then Robert Jennings who has me pining for Jordan Rankin or Nathan Milone back.

Those changes by Madge were pretty drastic, and the cutting of Benji is frankly a 50/50 call that could blow up in his face if the players don't respond how he wants them to. Also coming up against Canberra on the rebound and it becomes a tough ask for the Tiggers.

Prefer brains to balls in a coach myself. He's in the 21. He may yet play. Either way the Raiders won't drop two in a row.

Dropping the top dog shows that madge isn’t afraid to drop anyone. Puts everybody on notice

Would have pissed mbye off aswell but our centre depth this year is terrible enough as it is and I guess atleast his defence is ok.

1 in a row is an impressive streak. How are the mighty green machine fans feeling for this week, confident they can turn around last weeks loss?

Hodgson needs to play better, he was bad last week. He still has these really off games and it happens just a bit too much for him to be called the best hooker in the game. His service can be really lackluster at times too. Smith would be lucky to have 1 bad game every 2 years.

When the Raiders has that run of belting us by 50 3 years in a row or whatever the main reasons were:

* Papalli running over Moses
* Shannon Boyd running over Aaron Woods - pretty sure we’re the entire reason he had a rep career
* Leipana scoring 7 billions tries

None of those guys are there anymore so I’m confident we can keep it within 30.

I used to remember as a tigers fan I could walk in confident knowing we’d beat the raiders...oh how the fortunes have changed.

Im pretty sure our average loss margin over the last few years would be 30+
Those were the days. It was the same with the sharks
