[AlwaysGreen]

We're the team everyone fears making the eight, only bad luck, weak gutted dogs, biased refereeing, inclement weather and a gypsy's curse has kept us out of the top 4.

 

[Apey]

This is the kind of game we will lose. Which makes it like every other game we play.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Raiders by a 2 second play the ball

 

[This Year?]

Raiders to do it the hard way when it should be a cakewalk.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

 

[Miller was a legend]

Ricky’s mob to clean the floor with these dunny huggers

 

[Captain Apollo]

 

[mongoose]

Raiders 24-0 after 15min... then after a string of bone headed penalties, mistakes and aggressively awful 5th tackle options Knights claw back to lose 24-22. So basically a repeat of what happened last time we played them.

 

[Chief_Chujo]

That's quite a backline Newcastle are running out. Watch us make them look like immortals.

 

[Perth Red]

Raiders by the width of a toilet cubicle.

 

[BadnMean]

Raiders by the width of a toilet cubicle.

It's a shame, the Knights just run better lines with Ponga ordering them.

 

[Someone2]

Raiders by 16

 

[Hutty1986]

Can't see them having a sniff without him

 

[GongPanther]

This would be the ultimate choke of the century (so far) if Newcastle got up for this won, and at the same time threw Can out of the running for a top eight spot.

But logic knows better than to screw with fate, and it is not happening this time around.

So the Canberra fans can celebrate with a few beers after the game, this is a 42-16/12/10/6 win.

 

[mozza91]

I’m expecting the usual against Canberra, for us to compete for most of the game and then lose in heartbreaking fashion.

 

[nick87]

We should win this game by 20+
Honestly looking at the team and the talent disparity is staggering

But the raiders are poorly coached, terrible as favourites, have no ability to string together 80 minutes of consistently good football and wil likely either win this game close and a loss wont shock any raiders fan

Don't forget you're playing for a spot in the 8 with 3 very winnable games.

 

[footy75]

Got a feeling Knights might show up for this.

 

[Fangs]

Do it for Ricky boys.

Raiders need to win handsomely here. Differential is critical to their finals chances so I'm expecting them to go all out in attack. Wighton to get a double at least.
