Wow, what a week we have coming up! If we thought playing the Knights last week was a big test well then this game is even bigger. Last year's Grand Finalists, the Raiders, at home in Canberra is not an easy task at all. You might look at some of the injuries they have and it may suggest this will be a bit easier but I don't think that'll be the case at all. You look at how they played against the Roosters last week, they were brilliant. They outclassed them so we are going to face a big step up come Saturday night.
Canberra's have strike all over the park but I think their biggest weapon is probably the forward pack. They have rep stars all over the place who play hard and give their all. Papalii, Whitehead, Tapine, the list goes on. That's before even mentioning other guys like Croker, Wighton and Nicoll-Klockstad. We're going to have to be well and truely on our game to stop them.
For us, I think we all know what the main focus will be this week. A quality side like the Raiders will punish us big time if we complete our sets like we did last week. We just cannot afford to get this one wrong like that so we need to hold the ball this week and give ourselves a chance, it's an absolute must! If we can do that, then everything else will hopefully flow off the back of that. I'm also hopeful that wre'll get a boost from Campbell Graham's return for this one. We may not but I'm hopeful.
So yea, huge game this week as we enter the second half of the Season. Time to turn it on! We can do this!
