NSW Cup - BWSE (Manly) and Canberra will not play this round due to COVID-19 restrictions.​

 

[skeepe]

Oh no

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The good news is no Turbo
The bad news is Canberra

 

[Pete Cash]

Only the most demented Raiders fans will be watching this so see you all Thursday

 

[t-ba]

Walker's playing. I think Curtis Scott needs to be allowed to play this week.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Thef**k we gonna line up with no Tom DCE and Schu?

Please please PLEASE no Funa.

 

[GongPanther]

Raiders a lock in by 28-12. Extend Sticky to a further 50 year contract, with his kid to take over after he falls off the perch.

Just to make it even worse, Dessie will name the biggest Eagles Plodder on the bench...That's right the return of the utter useless Jack Gosiewski...

Our depth is horrendous if this guys picked...

If it's any consolation we feel the same way about our team.

Somehow Jarrod Croker- who hasnt been near to fg standard in 18 months of trying is keeping our most promising outside back this season out of the team (Timoko).

The young half he picked a few weeks ago- presumably as the young half we are grooming for future honours has been left out in favour of our 26 year old career reggies squad filler who could never get past Sam Williams...

Our "debutant" FB has barely played FB before - he was a winger in SG Ball & only has a about 4 NSW Cup games, half of them on the wing... Learn fast kid & good luck.

We out of troops. I'd sooner have Taufua in the side off the bench than the Jetski however.

 

[Pete Cash]

Savage has a ton of potential but tossing him in at fullback when he's barely played there (and barely played against men fullstop) is quite the move lol

I suppose stick can swap him and rapana who plays like a mental case at fullback and gasses himself out after 40 minutes.

 

[skeepe]

Frawley and Williams in the halves? This truly is the darkest timeline.

 

[shear_joy9]

I'd like to see Suli put a fend on Croker and send him into the grandstand

 

[skeepe]

So Ricky promises mass changes in the press conference, yet the only ones he makes are forced by injury and Origin selection.

On Croker, I understand why he’s there. Yes he’s horribly out of form but he’s also going to go down as a club legend. He’s the club captain, has played the second-most first grade games in club history and is our all-time leading try scorer and point scorer. Players like that, fair or not, always get way more leeway than others.

Don’t get me wrong, on form he absolutely shouldn’t be there, but I can understand it.

On the other hand, players like Tapine who have been phoning it in for weeks - yeah I don’t get that selection.

That Raiders backline is rank. Surely Manly get to 50 again here.

This is their tough game in between Dogs minus 5 (plus injuries which are numerous) and Dragons NSW Cup side.

Dylan Walker @ Half, anything can happen

 

[nick87]

The Raiders have been somehow surviving the 50 point barrier all year long, if DCE and Turbo were available im sure they'd see to the end of that.

without them, manly by 20

 

[bileduct]

Manly could field 17 sacks of potatoes and still put at least 40 on the Raiderps.

Into f**king orbit and hopefully never ever seen again.
