2021 R11 Sat - Canberra 10-34 Melbourne @ GIO

[BadnMean]

Canberra will have a real crack at home.

Storm will not want to be complacent,

We're bloody awful at home. Have been for years.

 

[bileduct]

This is the first home game in a long time where I really have no interest attending.

 

[Pete Cash]

This will be a fun re-read when the Great Bradley Obadiah Schneider comes on in the 50th minute and lays on 3 crucial late tries, and kicks 3/3 and the Raiders lose 66-18

75th minute more accurately

 

[The Moist Captain]

That’s the worst team the Raiders have rolled out in years. How many players do they have missing?

 

[Rhino_NQ]

No papi is huge for the raiders, melb will just suffocate field position out of them.

There was a rough count done on the Raiders fan forum. If you look at expected starters from what our our best predicted team pre Round 1, it's about 7 sure things missing.

Hodgo
Croker
Tapine
Papa
Rapana
Wighton
CNK

and you could argue the toss about whether Smith-SMhields, Sia Soliola or Havilii are "missing" or would also have been in that best lineup.

Please don't make excuses for Ricky.

Every team has to get through periods of injury.

I’m quite divided as a non-Raiders fan. I like seeing them do well to break up the monotony but then we don’t get to see sticky having a sook.

[Rhyno]

Storm 32-6

 

[Rhino_NQ]

storm wouldn't even use a bit of spit, just deep and raw all night

No Paps, Munster or Grant - best chance of beating Melbourne you'll have all year.

 

[Someguy]

Both teams missing their entire first choice spine. Storm edge defence is very much exploitable, I think if raiders hold storm to less than 30 they win

 

[STORM.99/07]

Storm rules out Jahrome Hughes and Kenny Bromwich for game against Faders

They could rule out a few more and Canberra still cop 30+

What a strange comment. Have you seen the Raiders 17?

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

This competition has become gape or be gaped

I fear us Raiders fans may be on the end of Jeff Stryker's greatest hits from Mardi Gras tonight

 

[roofromoz]

Fk it's Dan.

Let's get this over and done with
