Rd6: 735pm Eels v Raiders GAME DAY THREAD in Darwin 12/4/25

If we want to win we have to have patience today limit the errors. Kick early and long burry them into their own half and wait for them to blow their fo for valves in the heat/humidity

and hopefully we score more points than them too..

Darwin is often a lottery if one of the teams is not from Queensland.

Ordinarily the Raiders should win this and comfortably...but the Raiders are pretty inconsistent. Hopefully we're meeting them on one of their off nights.

The big fear is that we have too many players who don't play enough minutes in the forwards. We need to share the load in the humidity, particularly with the back 5 we have.

As they say, you never know you're luck in a tropical town.

I hate to be a negative Nancy, but I can't see how we win...

Lomax being ruled out was the last hope we had, imo.

We are just missing took many key players.

But as long as the young kids we have give 100%, like last week, I'll be content.

This is clearly going to be a tough year.

No, I wouldn't classify Bangkok as a town, but every other place in Thailand is basically just a town (and everywhere else in South East Asia).

And, you never know your luck there.

You can't not get lucky there

Canberra arrived in Darwin on Tuesday whereas we travelled on Thursday. Definitely has them more acclimatised

To be clear. Are we pre allocating blame?

Just seems weird. We are usually up for at least 3 days. Maybe Ryles and the crew determined being up longer is actually less beneficial

Bangkok is massive and I wouldn't call Manila a town. Cebu has progressed every time I go there.
BTW if you don't want want to pay the girls are way friendlier in Cebu then Bangkok.
If you do want to pay they are even friendlier

I would think so. Who would want to stay in that shithole any longer than they need to...

There’d be a point of diminishing gains
