NSW Cup

Raiders are teetering and need to show something soon.

Souths are very close to a loss and may have 1 eye on the next game against storm.

Raiders in a tight one.

 

[yobbo84]

Third game in a row playing a team coming off an embarrassing loss. We escaped the last two, and the Raiders are a step up, so I think we're due a loss.

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Can't see us winning. Were in a pretty deep hole right now and best I can hope for is an improved effort.

 

[GongPanther]

Souths by 28-12.

Sheds. Hurtin. Refs. Wacky. Shared Brain. Simple. Choker. Jack. Textas. Baldness.

 

[Pete Cash]

Well at least we get this bad boy over nice and early in the week

 

[BunniesMan]

Raiders got dis. We're due a down week and that's fine at this stage of the season.

 

[Rhyno]

Raiders by 6

[mongoose]

we need CNK back, Aekins is safe but he's thoroughly average

 

[This Year?]

Benji to get a new nickname after targeting Scott's edge.

Edgelord.

Edgelord.

what about "sir edgelord of gapeington"?

 

[This Year?]

what about "sir edgelord of gapeington"?

If he gets on the other side of Spurt Gapewell's wall, he will be inducted into the LU gameday thread hall of fame.

 

[Pete Cash]

oh no this is on tonight

Raiders got dis. We're due a down week and that's fine at this stage of the season.

Could be a down month with the draw you've got coming up.

 

[Pete Cash]

EDIT

whoops this post is meant for the conference thread

 

[lockyno1]

Could be a down month with the draw you've got coming up.

They won't lose all 3. They will beat Melbourne at home for mine. Were the better side in round 1 for 60 minutes of the game, were just abysmal for the first 20 that lost them the game. If the game went 5 minutes longer they win that. Mitchell is back for the Penrith game which will be a cracking game.

 

[yobbo84]

In an oddity of the draw, this is our fifth consecutive head-to-head game at GIO Stadium. We haven't had a home game vs the Raiders since 2018 (in Gosford of all places) and haven't played them in Sydney since 2017.

Early victory to the Raiders
