I just look at the class in that Canberra lineup and drool and jizz at the same time.

Parra scored 17 against us last week which is a rare feat these days as I seriously don't see the Raiders troubling us defensively.

Peach will be the x-factor in this game, and with press reports about Luai's spot in the SOO under question, I'm sure he'll answer his critics. So if Luai has a blinder, Raiders fans can vent their spleens at the scribes.

After a tight first 25 minutes, Penrith to run away by 38-12. Just hope it doesn't rain again.

Well I’d like to think it may be a closer contest. You’d get pretty good odds for such a convincing win, might be worth a few dollars of your Centrelink payments.

The weather looks to be fine.

Great! Want to see our players really put their pace on.

This is the game where Nathan Cleary needs to step up. We need him more than anyone else to be at their best. If he performs at his best I think we will win, if he doesn’t we’ll I’m not quite sure.

The great thing about team sport is having your team member's back if you are not exactly setting the world on fire. What we need is a couple of games were we can stretch right out as a team on dry tracks and get back to our best.

If we can't beat the Raiders without Wighton comfortably then we've got problems... I mean real problems. We just lost to our regular season bogey side in Parra but they lost to the Knights FFS.

 

[Bazal]

Did...did a Penrith fan just claim that a Canberra fan was on Centrelink?

I'm not sure what to make of that

Really good opportunity for some of our players to put their pace on.

 

[Diesel]

the first ever Weak Gutted Dog Cup, goes on the line tonight

 

[Nealo 12]

Hey Ivan , I'm thinking of running out a bit wider tonight

 

[Bazal]

(weak) Gutted that I'm likely to be missing this match day thread. What kind of monster schedules social events in a post COVID world, deadset

 

[westerntiger]

Exactly the type of match up the 6pm Friday slot was made for

Settle down pal.

Canberra can vastly improve their chances of
winning by running their attack at Garner and Salmon. It'll be interesting if they try it or how they set it up. In defence they have to give Yeo and Cleary no time with the ball.
