[Hardcore_Fan]

We have more to play for than the raiders. Us 13+. During these dark times the raiders have really struggled against us as well.

 

[Glendale]

Less confident without Lamb but think we can still do this.

Cmon boys, let's officially end Leilua and Tapine's season right here!

 

[perverse]

Not sure where the points come from without Lamb.

 

[EdLondon]

Hopefully Cogger

 

[Old dog]

Have a feeling Feeney will be selected not Cogger.

 

[Spot On]

Cogger in!

 

[Bring it home Knights]

Good to see. 2 games to finish the year off for him will speed up his development and help motivate him during the off season. Plus it looks like Feeney is definitely on the outer so there is no point playing him instead.

 

[9701]

Ross? Hopefully not rushing him back

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

Glad they have rested sione. He needs a rest.

 

[Old dog]

Glad they have rested sione. He needs a rest.

Me too am glad, just wish they had done same with Ross, seems too soon

 

[Zoidberg]

Game day club!
Pretty optimistic about this one at the moment. Interested to see Cogger have another crack.
Hope we get em!

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

Gonna be a long night with abysmal defence from the outset. Hodgson making easy metres up the middle. Paulo should never ever score a try like that either.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Pathetic defence

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

Jesus Christ. This is abysmal. Raiders aren't doing anything special other than running hard and we can't contain them

 

[Tom155]

Rough start

 

[Seage]

Wonder if we'll touch the ball again.

 

[Zoidberg]

What's the f**king penalty count?

 

[Seage]

This is going to be a record first half penalty count

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Oh look another penalty for nothing.
