imo this match will be a real test of the mental toughness required to win premierships
As much as is written that we have an inferior roster compared with some of the stronger clubs I dont think that makes us the automatic choice for the wooden spoon. We have some fine talent at the club that can match it with the best as was shown last week. Some of that talent has not made FG and some has been ill prepared when elevated to the top grade.
You will usually find that body contact sport is 80% perspiration and 20% inspiration .. get the latter part of the equation right and you can make for some deficiencies in the former.
Today will be a test of how well Elliott has prepared the side mentally ... something that has gone missing in about 30-40% of Elliott's coaching at the Raiders.
We need to not only win the match but win well.
GO THE RAIDERS !!!

... why give a side the chance to blow you off the park .. it should have happened last week but the dragons didnt take thier chances
we've now scored our first try ... after about 35 mins
the pity of this is that Chalk will be dropped next week and Howell in (as if Elliott needs an excuse to get his god son back in)
