Reckon we will win, but obviously history suggests we are a risk of losing…

However it’s amazing how much commentary are selecting the Raiders and using our performance against the Panthers as one of the reasons. Yet all this commentary at the same time picked panthers to beat us last week and had panthers odds on to win the comp….then act surprised we lost…….

gus even goes panthers could have won by more ….gee wasn’t it our effort that stopped the scoring blowing out…even after all our errors, it’s amazing panthers only managed 4 tries, and 2 gifted to them by Blake…

anyhow as I have said, our performance is being seriously underrated……..just need to repeat it again without the errors and we win!!
I still haven't found any journo or ex player that is tipping us.

Yet we are still favourites go figure.

Yep, no one is…

But they don’t bet, the ones betting/risking their cash are probably considering the form a bit better!!

I heard one commentary suggest today, we may struggle against the raiders centres, as they shift the ball like south’s who we struggle against…

Some interesting quotes in there... BA putting across that Jake has a job on the bench - "he might get on, he might not" but the f**ker seems intent on selecting him there regardless :(.

Also re Blake "I've never hung anyone out to try off one bad performance" - and so we're still waiting to hear the real reason why Nathan Brown was dropped mid-season then.

I fear the straight sets exit, but at least that should see the end of the BA era...

If we only use 15 players and get beaten, then we shouldn't even get to midnight Friday before the coach should tender his resignation.

70% of the money with the Raiders at the TAB according to Laurie Daley.

Hard to argue with what Braif said on nrl360 why have a halfback on the bench and possibly use just 16 players just because your number 7 might go down.

Especially with Canberra's forward pack.
They're forgetting that the 16th player doesn't even get a run until the result has been determined.

It's f**ken amateur hour.
