Round 18 v Canberra Sat 05/07/25

[Forster Dragon]

I can't remember us carrying this many injuries for a while.

Not enough depth in the lower grades....We will do well to even keep up with them.

Not expecting many more wins this season.

Our depth is ok we are well placed in the Cup.

Big difference between cup and 1st grade...

Raiders vs Dragons at GIO Stadium: 5.30pm, Saturday July 5​

Raiders: Hudson Young was rested from their trip to Newcastle and he will be absent on Origin duty this week, likely along with Corey Horsburgh.

Dragons: Hamish Stewart (concussion) and Toby Couchman (shoulder) are out, wingers Nathan Lawson (arm) and Christian Tuipulotu (hamstring) are at long odds while decisions on Luciano Leilua (thigh), Viliame Fifita (knee) and Damien Cook (ankle) will be made later in the week.

We will be lucky to field a team. It's a stretch under any circumstances.

Just hope they are looking at the following week.

my bad didn’t realise he hadn’t been selected as 18th man.

Yes, a pity Sammy. Though I would love us to beat the Raiders with most of their top 17 playing while we have most of ours out. That would be the best.
