Rnd 23 v Tigers - Game Time

[raiders fan forever]

both teams lose their main hookers today but Withers can step up and take that role which is good for carney, he can stay half back. Craig Frawley should be on the bench now.

 

[I Bleed Green]

Simon Woolford out with a virus.

:shock:

Zilly time?

Or Frawley time? :roll:

Jersey Flegg win 46 - 28 against Wests ... great result for the boys further cementing their spot in the finals

 

[raiders fan forever]

:shock:

Zilly time?

Or Frawley time? :roll:

Yeah bring on Zilly!!!!............... but what are the odds of Elliot thinking that

 

[Bay56]

This is how it stands at the moment ...

Raiders .… 24 … - 47
Sharks ….. 22 … -9
Panthers .. 22 … -37
Cowboys .. 22 … -42
Tigers …… 20 … -78

Raiders .… Bye .. Melbourne (H) .. Sharks (A)
Sharks ….. Panthers (H) .. Dragons (A) .. Raiders (H)
Panthers .. Sharks (A) .. Knights (A) .. Bulldogs (H)
Cowboys .. Knights (H) .. Rabbits (H) .. Eels (H)
Tigers …… Dragons (A) .. Bye .. Rabbits (H)

I thought PL had a bye this week but that is not correct ... that's next week.

PL leading atm early in the game

 

[Bay56]

PL leading 24 nil in the first half ... boyo this side is continuing the great attacking football we witnessed last week at Bruce albeit their opposition this time is at the foot of the ladder.

Probably indicates to me that Zilly is playing PL and will not be elevated to FG due to Germ's omission ... idiot Eliott.

 

[I Bleed Green]

Bay, any indication if Zilly or Frawley is playing in PL, although I suspect I know the answer anyway...

Edit: Haha, posted at the same time. No definitive indication though? Heard of the names of any tryscorers?

 

[Bay56]

No details other than the score ... if PL keep going like this they will finish 4th meaning a home semi ... GO LADS !!

 

[Mal Meninga]

We've got a dynasty on our hands in Canberra if management play the cards correctly.

 

[Bay56]

PL are 30-10 a couple out from half time

 

[lotm]

If there is one piece of advice I'd give Elliott it's that we are as good an attacking team as any given the chance to play that style of football

well, we do have the fourth highest points scored in the league ...

... but the fourth highest points conceded.

don't count your chickens, mate. parra have dominated the lower grades for years and what has that got them?

Interesting stat that lotm ... must admit completely escaped my attention ... there are a few others close to us but when you consider that teams with attacking credentials such as the Dragons and Broncos are some 10% less than us it says a bit for our attacking football this year when compared to previous years ... Carney ???

 

[lotm]

i don't know what the reason is, but if we can do that by playing predominantly conservatively ...

i'm still keen to know if zilly's playing pl. leaving him out this week would be a bigger mistake than usual, imo.

 

[Mal Meninga]

don't count your chickens, mate. parra have dominated the lower grades for years and what has that got them?

Haven't they won 2 minor premierships since 2000?

And looking at those lower grades sides over the years, many of them were discarded by Parra management and they've gone on to have solid careers. Not really playing their cards right....

Who's ahead of us in both categories?

 

[Bay56]

Frawley in the starting line-up, Kahler to the bench

Who's ahead of us in both categories?

Better in attack are Storm, Dogs and Knights ... in fact Knights are the best attacking team.

Worse in defence are Rabbits, Roosters and Knights.
