No, it's really not.
2nd worst attack v 2nd best defence and not an issue?

Ah, but have a look since the last time we played them. You're not taking into account current form. In that time they've played only 3 Top 8 teams (including Parra) and lost each of them.2nd worst attack v 2nd best defence and not an issue?

Raiders have held 3 teams to nil this year - Titans, Eels, Tigers. That obviously helps your defensive stats. But the Raiders will let in at least 3-4 tries on Sunday.
Raiders have 2nd best against points on the ladder only 2nd to Storm.
Maybe against the whole season, but we have the best defence across the last 2 months (or second to Storm at worst).
The Warriors have traditionally been strong through origin yet not made finals. Are we doing that or are we genuinely improved. I'm on the side of us being improved based on play style but it's an important question for the next few weeks.
We have definitely improved. Our early wins were scratchy with a bit of luck thrown in.
Last 2 weeks have been dominant performances, regardless of the opposition.
That's how I see it as well. Hope we are right.
improvement for sure, just need to watch earlier games this season and its just shocking how we forgot to football
You can't fake that level of ineptitude over the 1st 11 rounds.I was thinking the same thing! It’s almost as if Ivan and the team were taking the piss!!
That's how I see it as well. Hope we are right.
Panthers coach Ivan Cleary has named his squad to face Canberra Raiders at Panthers Stadium on Sunday.
Viliame Kikau will have to beat a charge at NRL Judiciary on Tuesday night to take his place in the side while Liam Martin is a chance of returning from a quad injury after being named in the reserves.
