Team vs Raiders

[slotmachine]

The raiders destroyed our strongest side without Austin and wighton in the trial.

It's going to be business as usual and a 13+ loss.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Brown liked the performance of Ross. We might see him in. I hope not.
Impression I got from the press conference is that Sione will definitely be in, Paea probable and Stockwell and Fitzgibbon likely.

:lol: what?!!!

Yeah were at $1.75 raiders were $2.10

I got on the raiders 13+ @ $4.75

Not sure if it was an error. The odds have swung back around now and the raiders are $1.80 favourites but you can still get em @$4 for 13+

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

We'll lose 4 games in a row and then come good.

Did the Raiders lose another half to injury on the weekend?

Leilua looks a chance to be suspended although we would probably fire up and play better if he was in the opposition team given the way he left.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

I give us a glimmer of hope because we are getting back semi-first grade quality forwards. Also maybe.. Just maybe, snowden will pull his finger out.

The addition of sione could go either way.

It would take a lot of players to all fire if we are going to go close.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Given we have our first home game this weekend hopefully the boys will fire up for it. Really hoping there is a decent crowd there to give them a boost and a bit of support. If our forward pack can man up and match the Raiders' forwards then we're in with a shot. If we get out-muscled like in the trial we'll get smashed.

Kevvy Naiqama looking pretty handy for around 450k less than Gagai.

 

[The Showstopper]

What is scary about Tigers is Farah has yet to play.

 

[slotmachine]

They go better without him. Bit like Sharks and Gallen.

Reports Gagai is training at fullback on twitter

 

[The Showstopper]

Best news all week for us. Gags best position and will earn his paycheque. He is a winger or fullback. He cannot defend on the slide so hopefully he can anticipate better behind the line.

So sione slots into gagais centre spot? Wonder where that leaves feeney?

 

[slotmachine]

NSW Cup you would think.

 

[ryana87]

NSW Cup you would think.

Any chance feeny would take uates wing?

 

[Burwood]

If he is going to be dropped, He has to go back to NSW Cup. No benefit to his development if we chuck him from one unfamiliar role into another. Let him learn his trade and regain his confidence in reserves.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

1. Jaelen Feeney, 2. Nathan Ross, 3. Dane Gagai, 4. Pat Mata'utia, 5. Akuila Uate, 6. Jarrod Mullen, 7. Trent Hodkinson, 8. Sam Mataora, 9. Tyler Randell, 10. Korbin Sims, 11. Jacob Saifiti, 12. Robbie Rochow, 13. Jeremy Smith. Bench: 14. Danny Levi, 15. Sione Mata'utia, 16. Lachlan Fitzgibbon, 17. Daniel Saifiti, 18. Pauli Pauli.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Interesting that uate is named and snowden is still out. I dare say uate will be out, sione will slot in somewhere in the backs and pauli comes onto the bench..

Unless brown plans to play sione in the second row because thats a light bench. Stone already tried that and it didnt work out.

Not sure why snowden isnt there, I thought dropping him for 1 game would send a message? maybe not?

Wouldn't surprise me if that's a very different team to what runs out - no point training Gagai at fullback if he's not going to play there. That just costs Feeney more time training there - and he needs as much time as possible.
