Canberra Raiders Round 25 Line Up

[sydraider]

Thats a tasty combo of macca and mick at halves, i like it.
Wont be any good not having schif we need him for this game. This is a massive game for us i feel, same as next week, the pshycological advantages and confidence that will come from victory in the next 2 games is priceless i feel.
Will be tough but lets just wait and see

Having a think about it, if schif is out i think i would prefer graham at fullback over joel, i would prefer to keep joel on the flanks where he has benn awesome all year.
I remember some of the first games graham played for us were at fullback, he got good reviews back then, i think the boy can handle the back.

Any more news on Schif??

this from yesterdays canberra times, read into it what you will

The Raiders yesterday named a 19-man squad, centre Adam Mogg still unavailable because of a neck injury. Fullback Clinton Schifcofske says he will play despite a quadricep injury.

Schif will play, don't worry about that one kiddies 8)
before heading off to the Roosters game in rd 21 i thought we were gonna get pumped...and we turned in one of our best performances, win or loss. I get the same feeling about this one...we could get hammered but I think the boys will rise to the occassion.
Cross MUST play - watch him take that overrated tosser Mason down!

if schif dosn play i think either Gafa/Chalk/Graham should come into the team in fullback, i think robbo should play centres and have Joel marking up on Utai, we will need a bloke with size, speed and power to mark Utai so that he becomes null and void..... Hazem is only good for kicking and a bit of pace, Lolesi has him covered...... Mogg would be handy for his defence in the centres but without him Robbo needs to step up

I think davico will play as will all others, the only doubt i have is schif, with a top 4 basically sealed maybe we shouldnt risk him, get him right for the finals....... smith will play although i think Martin should start with Smith playing form the bench, he is far more effective off the bench.

If Schif dosnt play we will need M. Monnas to play to add more of an attacking spark to our game, I think "the Boss" should play because his style of play might just get the likes of Willie Mason off gaurd, as we know Mason is good for a few blunders if put under preasure

Besides that im am surprisingly pretty confident about this game!
If schif plays then ill be pretty confident for a win, without him i think we might struggle but still could pull the wool over their eyes

This is our chance to really shut the sydney media up

EDITED!: for those who dont know, "The boss" is Ben Cross
DONT CROSS THE BOSS! :twisted:

I didn't even realise it was the Friday game until today.... We always play up for the media! Go the Raiders!

This is definately our biggest game of the year thus far i feel, if we come away with the spoils wait for the odds to drop from $16 and we will have gained some well earned respect which i thought we deserved after our hit out with the roosters.
