Rnd 16 vs Cows

[Raidersrawesome]

The boys generally dont back up well after a bye , they are very slow out of the blocks and the Cowboys had an impressive win against the Broncos.

Dugan to continue at 5/8 , maybe Butts will come into calculations if he is fit. Hopefully young McIlwrick keeps his spot in the 17.

We are no chance. The Raiders will see the trip to Townsville as an extension of the bye.

We won our last game, it's a 4 week holiday after that

 

[legend]

We'll struggle against a Cowboys side that held the Broncos scoreless at home. This does not bode well for a team who struggle to tie their own bootlaces at the best of times.

Away from home against a red hot Cowboys, will be lucky to keep it under 40.

Canberra Raiders Captain David Shillington is the big inclusion for the Green Machines vital clash against the Cowboys in Townsville on Saturday evening, with the Queensland forward re-joining the team after the club bye last weekend.

Shillington moves back into the Raiders starting line-up moving Dane Tilse back to the bench, with Trevor Thurling dropping out of the 17 to become 18th man.

Raiders Coach David Furner said the one change to the team was great for consistency and said the team would welcome back Shillington’s go forward.

“Having Shillo back in the team is a big boost and although Tom Learoyd-Lahrs and Dane Tilse did a great job for us against the Knights, he’s been one of our best this season and comes back into the starting team,” Furner said. “It’s great for us that we have the same team again this weekend and we can continue to build on our combinations.”

ugh great stuck with waddell for atleast another 4 weeks. Hope McIll start playing longer minutes.

 

[Cowboys woo]

As a Cowboys fan I'm very weary of the Raiders. They haven't won up here since 2006 but no doubt we the past 2 months have either been pulling out stinkers or gems. If we pull out a stinker eg Titans Canberra will win. Keeping the Broncos to nil was a massive achievement. And I'm suspecting Croker will be sick of Tate by the end of the night. Your mob are good of pulling the odd performance out of your ass too, no mater how bad your form is.

Good luck guys

 

[Raidersrawesome]

Good luck Woo , I honestly cant see where we will win this.

Confidence will be up from our Newcastle game but if we played anyone else that night I think we would have struggled to win.

 

[legend]

Why Tilse over Thurling? Thurling played well in his first game back and Tilse is well...Tilse. That's the kindest thing I could say about him.

 

[gypsy]

bump.

 

[innsaneink]

bump.

No ones here.

Theyve all gone.

Dont blame em.

 

[mongoose]

What can be said really?

I stopped watching at half time.

This club is in far worse shape than the Eels. Atleast the Eels admit they are a joke and are trying desperately to turn things around.

It's infuriating that the clubs management, coach and board dont even acknowledge that the fans perception of them is very, very negative. Just unbeleivably arrogant, pig headed and disrespectful.

Hopefully we beat the dragons and then lose every other game by 50.

Any word on Dugans injury?

Any word on Dugans injury?

it's a suspected ankle sprain, that's probably season for Josh. A week for anyone else.

I don't think we could beat most NSW cup sides at the moment but i'm still confident we will pump the Dragons. :lol:

 

[Didgi]

Moved on from Souffs gypsy?

 

[edabomb]

While the coach remains a protected species there is no reason to care - it'd only get you down.

You are the biggest waste of bandwidth I've ever seen on this site.

You were wrong about Dugan signing with the Dragons (which you were quite excitedly telling us all was 100% guaranteed to happen) and ever since have acted like a little child who, when told he can't have a lolly, throws a tanty and claims he never wanted one anyway.

You're a peanut mate, a complete and total f**king peanut.

Now f**k off you miserable merkin.

Poor Skeepers got reeled in.
