We've hardly ever won down here in the 'berra. The Raiders are also in a bit of form. Will be enormous if we can win this one. Beautiful day for it though.

Absolutely agree with this. The Raiders will be very hard to beat down there today.

I’m putting our chances of beating them today as - unlikely.

Raiders form isn't bad, but it aint exactly great either, round 1 they beat the Titans who were f**kin' abysmal, round 2 lost to the Storm at home, who weren't all that convincing, round 3 beat the Knights, didn't watch this game but the Knights aren't exactly on fire, and round 4 beat a Cowboys outfit that looked more than determined to beat themselves.

So yeah, they are three from four, and yeah I can't exactly say our wins have showed a great deal of class, so form wise I think we are probably about on par. I reckon this will be a game about attitude, if we show up ready and willing to have a dig for eighty minutes, and hang on to the f**king ball, the rest will take care of it's self and we will win.

Agree with a lot of what you said.

However, I think we have shown plenty of class in our wins tbh.

Yeah, I probably coulda' worded that a bit better, what I was trying to get across ( poorly it seems ) was that our wins haven't shown all that much more class than have those of the Raiders, not that they showed a lack of class at all.

Interesting to know that when we last beat them down there they beat us at Parra.

All good.

I think that, pushing the reigning Premiers for 65 minutes, coming from 10-nil down to beat the Dogs, and beating Penrith in Penrith after losing Nathan Brown shows plenty of class.

We are far from a polished product, but we are heading in the right direction.
