Raiders v Warriors match thread

[ozbash]

good luck to all my little kermy freinds, hope its a grouse game on Sunday (weatherman say wet and cold).

you lot havnt been the same since you let simon woolynuts go to the drags...

Our best chance to pick up 2 points across the ditch ... the warriors have injuries to their key players.

If our guys have their minds on the job (being away from home this could be considered a big IF) and Carney has a rip snorter I can see a few tries out wide. I just hope Henry hasnt suggested a 'safe as you go' approach to his players.

An all important 2 points that at least will keep us up there in contention for a spot in the 8 come September.

Btw the TYC is live on Fox ... suggest you get yourself to a mates place that has Fox and watch this game ... keep an eye on J.Carney, Jarrod Croker, Michael Picker and even the little half Matt Smith is value for money.

agreed bay, im heading to my olds early to watch the games
Mick Picker and Matt Smith are imo one of the complimentary halves ive seen in U20's, they just gel together so easily. Neither of them really star, they share the ball and evenly distribute it so neither is really looking the go to guy, but both are doing a superb job

mick picker reminds me a bit of mick monas the way he plays i reakon.

Half time in Toyota Cup match

Raiders are up 22-12

Can't beleive the negativity heading into this game. This is an away game we must win imo. Warriors have lots of injuries and after such a good showing against the storm it would be highly dissappointing to lose.

 

[raiders fan forever]

yeah agree Raiders wont have a better opportunity to win away from home against Warriors

btw Fulltime in TC Raiders won 30-24

 

[Timbo]

It's going to be a cripple fight for the ages.

Whoever's handling is better will win this game. Mt. Smart is virtually under water.

 

[Timbo]

Wow, as much as I like him, I'm really suprised Dobson's been picked after already getting a release.

 

[aussies1st]

Very strange indeed, deserves a fairwell but if he goes well then we see what we have missed out.

 

[Mal Meninga]

mick picker reminds me a bit of mick monas the way he plays i reakon.

Picker is one of the 'ugliest' halves in the U20's. He's effective but it's definately not pretty! I remember watching Todd Carney in the lower grades and you could see a player oozing of class in everything he did. If he keeps growing i'd say he'll become a lock.

 

[Timbo]

I'm just concerned he'll try to avoid an injury so not go all out.

Don't think Dobbo would do that though.

 

[Northcoast_Raider]

Half time warriors 8-0.

Prob one of the worst halves of football i have seen by our boys. Someting like 40% completion rate. Absolutely disgraceful, should be down by alot more.

 

[Sydney_Raider]

Can someone go around to Dobson's place this week and personally drive him to the airport and stick around to make sure he gets on the plane.

 

[aussies1st]

Please get fit soon Herbert. Carney was MIA again.

 

[Bay56]

Didnt get to see TYC as I had to take Mrs Bay out shopping but will watch the replay tonight.

Halftime in FG ... well what can you say other than "do you want to f**king win the game or f**king not!!!".

One thing that I've noticed in both City v Country and the first half of this game is that Carney is kicking the bombs to the corner with far more method and accuracy ... huh what a week away from Raiders training with the assistance of some good coaching can do for TC.

If we cut out the mistakes in the 2nd half we'll give this one a good chance ... otherwise it will be just another away game.

 

[Bay56]

Please get fit soon Herbert. Carney was MIA again.

Agree there was a big period in the middle third of that half where he was ... it has always been one of his faults and I would suggest that our coaching staff need to get more in his ear.

This game is crying out for a 40-20 ... now if I was Henry I'd have had a word in TC's ear ... then again ??

agreed
Todd's bombs are so much better during and since city country

 

[Timbo]

We're either marginally better in the second half, or they're far worse.

God this is painful to watch.
