[Vic Mackey]

Tigers/Raiders games are always pretty whacky. Either team could win by 40, there could be a 20+ point comeback, or a golden point controversial finish. Its rarely just a 12-18 point comfortable win or snoozefest.

If Luai doesnt back up it coud get pretty ugly. Even when theyve had good years the Raiders have often produced a stinker against us so hoping its one of those ones.

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Newest Nepo Baby on the block will debut this week.

Jed Stuart.

 

[Warrimoo3]

Banana skin game for the Raiders. Canberra and Campbelltown don’t mix

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Best young winger in the game

Best young winger in the game

Leipana together equal the attacking threat of this young dynamo.

 

[Warrimoo3]

Prediction: MOTM Lachie Galvin. He will turn himself into a hologram. He’s that good.

 

[BadnMean]

Prediction: MOTM Lachie Galvin. He will turn himself into a hologram. He’s that good.

100% if the Tigers do something good Gould will say, "Now Lachie Galvin has left an imprint on this Tigers team" or some other such dribble.

Ordinarily I’d say after the Raiders had the high of the Papali’i game, they’d be a tad flat afterwards…however they’ve had 2 weeks to get over it and prepare.
This could be the Tiger’s second 50 point drubbing of the year.
Our back row of Fainu, Seyfarth and Twal is not dynamic enough. Luai will probably not backup
Raiders also have a tonne of speed.
Could get very ugly.
