So no Mitchell, Graham, Murray, Arrow (Origin), Koloamatangi, Havili, Moale, Thompson (injured) and possibly no Burgess... guessing our side looks something like:

1. Taaffe
2. Johnston
3. Tass
4. Milne
5. Kennar
6. Walker
7. Ilias
8. Tatola
9. Cook
10. Burgess
11. Chee Kam
12. Host
13. Sele

14. Cartwright
15. Knight
16. Suluka-Fifita
17. S.Mitchell

That back 5 is nightmare fuel given the size of Canberra's backs.

Given how much Ricky will want this win I can't see us getting up.

 

[JamesRustle]

Canberra should be too good here, and will field an improved team with Young called into rep duty.

I was close with that 17 - Graham is in instead of Kennar, but Tallis Duncan is in for Tom Burgess (with Knight starting).

11 of our Top 30 unavailable due to Origin or injury (7 of those usual NRL players). Will be a tough ask.

Thank heavens Cook and Graham are available or we'd really be doomed.

 

[BranVan3000]

Rabbitohs too good with future immortal Tallis Duncan debuting

 

[mozza91]

Souths should be too good despite that NSW Cup level backrow.

Nicest thing anyone has ever said about Liam Knight

 

[yobbo84]

Pretty bloody good forward pack watching from the sidelines.

8. Davvy Moale
9. Siliva Havili
10. Thomas Burgess
11. Keaon Koloamatangi
12. Jai Arrow
13. Cameron Murray

 

[Someone2]

Raiders by 10

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Savage, again, left out of the extended squad. I can only assume there was a blow up and Ricky has marked him. He did similar with TPJ and Vaughan and was proven right in the long run I guess. But geez we miss speed in the backline and Cotric is such a waste of a bench spot.

 

[Vibing]

Why was Graham not fit enough to be on stand by for the Blues , so withdrew

but...
Is fit enough to play against the Raiders ?
utter BS

Souths will get the job done here ... just

 

[yobbo84]

It would have to be classic Wacky Raiders™ tomorrow for them to lose this one... far too many outs for us now

Tips the balance back toward the Raiders , but still not enough for me
This is the sort of game they should win , but often don't

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Everyone in the Warriors v Broncos thread and there is wackiness happening!!!

 

[This Year?]

Sooooo which team shaved this week?
Atkins in the house and he's hungry for pubes.

 

[Wb1234]

Electric

 

[This Year?]

I f**king hate Cody Walker but his hands are absolutely f**king magical.

 

[Generalzod]

It does get in like liquid into this chalk

 

[Generalzod]

I f**king hate Cody Walker but his hands are f**king magical.

Would you hate him if he played for the Dragons?

 

[This Year?]

Would you hate him if he played for the Dragons?

If he did the same grubby shit that he does at Souths, yes.
