no Thorby...the kid is nowhere to be found, is he injured???

 

[Godz Illa]

He was helped off the field in PL. I assume when they listed Hornby as unavailable, they meant Thorby.

 

[Macarthur Saints]

If they go into this game with the same mental approach they did when they prepared themselves against Brisbane and Manly they could very much win this, the moment they get a bit relaxed towards a team and one that isn't coming 1st or is a team that we would expect or highly capable of beating there game is crap and looks flat.

Approach this game as though it's a near impossible feat to win and they should look good at home. Last week should have brought some confidence back to the side, so long as Soward doesn't get too much confidence and plays the game with moderate involvement and Rangi and Hornby work in with him it should go down good.

A error free game with the same desperation on loose balls and we hopefully will get our 2 points. Simon would be there to belt his old team and Tongue isn't listed, he was a factor that broke us in the 1st clash earlier on in the year.

we will win this one as long as we fix our right hand side defence brown must know this is our problem ,what do you guys think?

 

[Slippery Morris]

Alan Tongue not playing is a hue help to the Dragons. He is the heart and soul of the Raiders.

Hope the Dragons don't go in cocky after this weekends game. They have to remember the last 10 mins of the game against Manly. They switched off and nearly lost a game after having a 14pt lead with 12 mins to go. They have to keep their minds on teh job for the full 80. Raiders can carve you up if you let them. They seem to score heaps of points when they get on a roll. Ask Parra.......

 

[big pat]

if matt cooper gets thru soo uninjured he will tighten defence up, saints just need to try and get into a winning frame of mind, everything else will follow.

 

[Dragon]

Also no Weyman and possibly Costigan out for the Raiders. Canberras away record this year is woeful, im confident we can get the win.

 

[God-King Dean]

Now with Costigan out, we shouldn't lose tbh.

 

[Wobbygong]

Don't get too cocky lads, we haven't looked like beating Canberra since 2002!

 

[Godz Illa]

Classy sig Immortal. Where do I get one with the Son of Sam on it?

 

[The Preacher]

I have no doubt we will win. I just feel that there's a change in attitude coming through, and the confidence levels of the kids, as long as it is kept in check (see Ritchie Williams) is something that will bring the side together.

 

[Southernsaint]

I think we'll win it off the back of the pride in the Red T-Shirt...

 

[God-King Dean]

Almost as classy as killing your family.

 

[Drew-Sta]

Almost as classy as killing your family.

Sick burn!

 

[Steel Dragon]

If Woolford wasnt playing - id give us more of a chance....

I highly doubt that with all the brouhaha surrounding the red shirts the club would wear them for a home game.

 

[God-King Dean]

If Woolford wasnt playing - id give us more of a chance....

It's strange. I feel the same.

 

[Southernsaint]

I highly doubt that with all the brouhaha surrounding the red shirts the club would wear them for a home game.

With Mr. Tired and Emotional sitting on the bench, and making a complete fool of himself again, no doubt.

Make sure you blokes on the hill give it to him, I will be, from the southern stand.
