Am I crazy for thinking we’re actually a chance here? Raiders are the kings of the under dog siege mentality. They had that going last week. At home, as favorites, against shit teams, they generally play like absolute arse and give the opposition every chance. In our 2 games last year they beat us by 1 and 2. Like yeah I’m clearly tipping canberrra, however the +8.5 feels juicy as this screams ‘unconvincing raiders victory’ to me.
Api will be the best player on the field in a key position.... you're a shot

You’re going against a heavy weight pack, stellar outside backs, a super underrated halves pairing the a top 2 (and he ain’t 2) coach in the nrl
At home, in front of the best fans in world sports, in the greatest city of modern world history.

Yes, you’re crazy

That's definitely the Raiders pattern. Not been great at home last few years either.

I've got a bet on Raiders -5.5 so almost certainly I lose that and the game is a squeaker.

I thought it was a pretty shit go for the media questioning Benji's commitment as a 1st grade coach coming into his debut. I hope the Tigers put up a good showing but I just can't see it happening.

Yeah for me I had raiders really struggling this year but they could well be 2-0

Newcastle were putrid though last week so hard to read in to that and wests have no form at all to judge on.

Maybe raiders in a tight one
