Collins' Champions Prepare for Another Crack at the Title
31/08/04: The Fone Zone Canberra Raiders VB Premier League outfit is on track for another serious tilt at the premiership after last week's 48-6 win over the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

Hard-running forward Kris Kahler scored 3 tries in the 42-point drubbing, adding to the hat-trick he grabbed against Balmain in round 17.

The win, coupled with the Penrith St Mary's Cougars' loss to Parramatta, has seen the Raiders claim 4th position, ahead of the Eels on points differential.

A victory over Souths this weekend will secure a top 4 spot for the Raiders, who will take on either Parramatta or last year's Grand Final opponents, Penrith St Mary's, in the first round of the finals.

[lukethejedi]

you seem a little overjoyed

 

[Raider_69]

why would you be overjoyed?
ben cross makes his return on the day the man he will replace as the best hit mercahnt and inspirational leader to ever grace the lime green

 

[lukethejedi]

because i think he's average. sorry personal opinion

 

[peter_raiders]

Where is todd carney?????? :shock: :shock: :shock:

 

[ball boy]

where is Toddy

 

[Um Jammer Lammy]

Thats the million dollar question

 

[Raider_69]

hmm carney is missing. maybe a surprise is looming from elliot :?

because i think he's average. sorry personal opinion

GET OUT :arrow: NOW!!

 

[Um Jammer Lammy]

A suprise from one of the tamest coaches I've ever seen, wow. I hope your are right. I state my scepticism now but will hopefully be proved wrong.

 

[Raider_69]

ye ai dont rate the chances but we might get lucky

 

[greeneyed]

Carney MUST be injured!

 

[VictorTheViking]

If im not mistaken wasnt carney named on the extended bench in first grade?

Edit: I need to learn to read properly.........

 

[Kris_man]

whats the deal with Willie Scanlon? He's always coming in and going out again.

 

[Raider Azz]

..

 

[Raider_69]

some one has edited my smilies
for shame!!

 

[hrundi99]

Drew dropped and replaced by Carney at the last minute?

Oh the indignation!

(doubt it...)

 

[Brimmer]

I read that Elliot was gonna "take a risk" this week. Could it be Carney?

 

[thickos]

Carney would not be a risk against Souths IMO. I think he would have a field day personally, he knows how to exploit a poor defence and that is Souths strong point.

 

[raiders_lover_18]

Wow thats a strong team but for the finals if first grade dont make it. it could look like:

1. Marshall Chalk
2. Nathan Smith
3. Jason Bulgarelli
4. Phil Graham
5. David Milne
6. Terry Campese
7. Todd Carney
8. Micheal Weyman (if he comes back like earlier suggested)
9. Jarred Lawrence
10. Ben Cross
11. Alan Rothery
12. Josh Miller
13. Kris Kahler

14. Mark Bryant
15. Beau Mundine
16. Jack Pearson
17. Nick Kouparitsas

And we still have

- Jamie Russo
- Steve Franciscus
- Adrian Purtell
- Glen Buttriss
- Willie Raston
- William Zillman
- Willie Scanlon
