Raiders in Pool B for 2005

[thickos]

You play teams in your own pool once, others twice.

PoolA

Roosters
Storm
Cowboys
Eels
Sea Eagles

Pool B

Dogs
Dragons
RAIDERS
Sharks
Warriors

Pool C

Broncos
Panthers
Tigers
Knights
Rabbitohs

Out of the four teams in your pool you play two at home and two away.... bad news for the SGB as it means possibly two (definitely one) Sydney game has been lost in 2005.

Only benefit is we have the Dogs only once!

 

[Tidus_Raider]

Mixed result. On one hand we play the Dogs only once. But on the other the Roosters, Broncos and Panthers twice. Also we only play the Dragons once. We have had the wood on them recently.

We had the dogs and dragons in our pool this year too, both playing in Sydney - my tip is that we play both these teams in Canberra (home) next year, and warriors and sharks will both be away games, giving Sydney-based fans a total of 8 matches (counting Newcastle).

 

[I Bleed Green]

Not to mention that we only get to play Ruben once!

While it is great to watch him play, I think for our side that is a very, very good thing...

 

[raiders_lover_18]

Do they do that according to results this year?

 

[Raider Azz]

Do they do that according to results this year?

Yes.

 

[raiders_lover_18]

Ok thats what I thought. Id probably rather play roosters once rather than Dogs.

 

[Raider Ultra]

I wouldn't, I love going to Roosters-Raiders matches. Strange that we'll only play St George and the Dogs twice in two seasons...

 

[MILLWALL]

they better play the dragons match down here in wollongong if not i shall get mad and you wont like mewhen im mad

 

[thickos]

I'd guess if the Dragons game is away from home it would be at WIN - we've been at Kogarah two seasons in a row now.

Millwall, did you get mad after the infamous 'after the siren draw' at WIN in 2002 after Simpkins shafted us?? Personally I would have liked to have seen that

i got stuffed up so bad i was bragging to everyone when the siren went saying sucked in then all of a sudden penatly i had to cover my face when i left

 

[GreenGuy]

Why even bring it up? #-o

 

[Stomp]

Do they do that according to results this year?

Yes.

Up until Round 26 standings.

Also, good that Canberra only have to play the premiership favourites for 2005 only once!

Yeah im not really that happy about that. Playing the Dogs once is ok, but we always seem to turn up against them, and we have had the wood on the dragons lately too, whereas the roosters have flogged us every time we've played them in the past few seasons... Unless we can really capture some form, we will have no chance. I also hope the Warriors game is at Bruce so we can see Rubes in action again. I know we had it this year, but prior to that we hadn't played them here for as long as I can remember.

Now we just have to hope that we get a good draw.

 

[skeepe]

Actually the Raiders had home games against the Warriors for at least the last two seasons. They voluntarily chose to transfer last season's game to Wellington.

 

[DJ Raida]

Our group sucks, i know we can beat the dogs and saints, but the other teams have beaten us twice this year- roosters, panthers (broncos once)- whereas we nearly beat the dogs and we beat the saints -

 

[raiders_lover_18]

Id like to be in pool A

 

[Nugby]

True the Raiders have got the wood on the Dragons the last couple years but I'm still annoyed about playing only once again, if it's not at Bruce (again) next year I'm gong to be pissed off. All I know I've got to look forward to is the Waratahs playing against the Brumbies here and it just isn't as good as league

 

[thickos]

I'm just hoping we don't lose the Sharks away match, that is easily my favourite fixture of the season to attend as I am a local.

As much as I would also like to see Ruben again in person, having him play AGAINST us at Bruce will be too painful. So I hope that game is at Ericcson. He can rip us up over there rather than break our hearts at home.

i love the big guy, but Ruben's a warrior now - i hope we smash him.
