[Valheru]

I tipped Canberra last week with confidence but they were trash and should have lost.

Have to go souths here who are at least having a crack

 

[yobbo84]

The Raiders should win this, but I hope Jack Wighton sets up 4 tries and scores 3 more just for Ricky's reaction

 

[Saxon]

Two pretty ordinary defensive teams playing in vague hope of finishing at the bottom of the 8.
Raiders to squeak through in the cold at home.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Could argue both teams were given victories last week by their opponents. When’s Latrell back? If he’s there will probably tip souths, if not think raiders.

 

[JamesRustle]

Wighton to show Ricky and the Viking mongs he was right to leave raiders for rabbits in order to play finals footy.

Rabbits by 20.

 

[gerg]

Raiders fans well know that Simple Jack could easily setup 4 tries. Two of those for the opposition though. Hoping for a Rocks and Diamonds performance from him for old times sake.

I reckon Souths are playing it coy and Latrell is done for 2024.

Anyway it was at least 4 weeks so not for a while yet.

 

[Chief_Chujo]

I had a dream last night that Simple Jack scored the first try and then proceeded to give the finger to the northern end fans for a solid 5 minutes. I was incensed the ref was allowing it. He was also wearing a bucket hat for some reason.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Ethan Strange to smash Wighton at least once.

 

[This Year?]

This could be the most chaotic game of the season.
@Bazal was last seen at Dan Murphys stocking up on his favourite rotgut in anticipation of what will be a delectable 2 hours of Raider-rabbit-league.

Rotgut?

An occasion like this calls for Grange and vintage Champagne ffs

 

[The Man Shake]

Queanbeyan vs Redfern in the Dental Hygiene Cup. I’ll go Redfern by 4.

 

[yobbo84]

A team we historically don't match up well against

The weakest back 5 in the NRL

4 degrees at kick off

Yeah, this could be a long night for us

 

[Fangs]

We don't want any trouble in this game Wyatt let's keep it clean and square.

 

[yobbo84]

Ok, so...

Souths win and we are in 10th, just 1 win behind 8th. Raiders 11th.

Souths lose and we are 15th and effectively season over. Raiders 9th.

Here we go. Let the wackyness begin.

 

[soc123_au]

Looking forward to some chaos and wackiness.

 

[Fangs]

Where is Wighton cam?

 

[Parra Pride]

Hopefully there are some top tier ref shenanigans.

What does Parramatta have to do with this?
