Finals.

Nerves are to be expected but look our record. Least points conceded. 2 most points scored in the comp. best record since 1959

I'd also prefer to beat Melbourne so that we don't get the "Melbourne would have beaten you" crap.

If Canberra win, they deserve to play in the GF, just as much if Souths also win. Anyone that gets to the GF deserves all the accolades when the one team wins it. Ppl who mention that Storm scenario are only sore and salty who want to buzz-kill on other fan's experience. Ignore those fault-finding losers.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Hmmm, Storm running riot. That could be good for us if they get a really easy game, but I’d probably prefer they get a really tough game.

Storm up 24 6 .Melbourne just blew them off the park.But the raiders are hanging in there
I do wonder how much the travel up from Canberra to Brisbane on the same day affected the start

Yeah the travel would suck, very glad we avoided the Melbourne side if the draw.

Beat Souths and have to play a crazy good storm for the GF.

To be the best you’ve gotta beat the best. I’m kinda glad we get the chance to play the Storm, no one can say we didn’t deserve it.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Remember the Storm have actually lost four grand finals. They’re not invincible on the day.

 

[kinghippo]

Well unfortunately now if we make the grand final we will be listening to nothing but lip service about Smith.

I like that .the more they talk smith up the less pressure on our young guys

Funny I said that to the wife yesterday. No one could take that GF away from us going through Roosters and Storm. So nervous for tomorrow.

Storm were there to be beaten tonight, their edge defence is suspect. First twenty was impressive but the raiders just got off a plane, after the first twenty the score was 10-6 raiders and they bombed 3 tries they should have scored. Anyway the Cam Smith shit is going to be annoying if we get through.

 

[franklin2323]

Raiders handed Storm a few tries but we saw the advantage of being fresher

 

[MugaB]

Coming first helped not having to mess around with draws, coming first generally solves most problems during finals, had we slipped in at 6 or something, we'd be busted even if we got to the GF, like the Cowboys in 2017

Yeah but it was a close run thing against the roosters. Lose that and we travel to Brisbane.

 

[tripster]

It did look like the Storm picked up a few injuries. Munster was pretty quiet and was hobbling at times, his knee is a long way from 100%. It looked like JAC picked up a minor ankle injury and Big Nelson some kind of knee or ankle injury but they played on. Hopefully it means they are less than 100% heading into next week.

 

[Sime_11]

Game day, ignore the fact that Melbourne made the GF, we aren’t there yet, our chance to make it is tonight.

let’s do the job tonight panther fans !!!

They were also very fatigued. The game against the Roosters was brutal and you could just see them last week hanging on at the end of the match.
Even though they had a 7 day break the Raiders were visually tired last night.

Yeah it was perfect example to use when people say not having the week off is better

Raiders and not passing to their winger to win big games, name a more iconic due. They did the same in last year's GF.
