The biggest w@nk of the last 10 years...people talking up the raiders

I agree they have a strong squad but 2 things concern me greatly.

1. Campo's injury. He is no certainty to even get on the field this season and even if he does he won't be at his best. Quite a worry to lose the apex of your team. Orford steps in as the replacement but he is overcoming a season injury as well. He could quite easily go down again at this stage of his career at that will be the end of it.

a.Matt Orford's kicking long kicking game (or lack there of). This will hurt a big side like the raiders especially in the 2nd half when you tire.

2. The 2nd half burnout. All you Canberra fans know what I'm talking about. When the pressure goes on in the back end of the game you run out of juice. The big forwards tire and the team looks rudderless. If this isn't corrected there is no way you can make the top 4.

Dear god no.
If you lived down here you would know how everyone suddenly jumped on the bandwagon in the last three weeks of the comp and how the local media were already talking about their record against the Dragons before they even faced the tiggers.

How hilarious have all the David Shillington interviews been since.

"We would have beaten the Dragons the next week for sure!" :lol:

Didn't Moffo bag the Dragins last year too? :lol:

When DOESN'T he?

Not trying to stir the pot here, but I don't even rate their forwards as up there with the best packs in 2011. Big, yes....but quite a few stronger and more skillful packs overall around for mine.

Individually, I reckon you could find quite a few players in other teams you would pick as better than each of the Raiders.

Evil Dead 2 is a good movie,more enjoyable then watching the Raiders play

Hilarious thread.

Keep whinging, it will make the premiership success that much sweeter.

This is pretty funny stuff. Do you have a regular gig?

So in that theory they will miss the finals this year.

I think its since 1986 they havent missed the finals in consecutive seasons.

I havent really heard much talk about the Raiders they always seem to be given no chance for the premiership. No question theyve got a top side but its whether they'll be fresh throughout the whole season.

 

[El Diablo]

Let me start by saying I have nothing against the Raiders as a club at all

But I can't believe how excited everyone has been getting over the raiders chances this year

Am I the only one that doesn't see it?

I struggle to see where they will be better then last year (on paper anyway), they've lost Campo for a fair portion of the season and bought an ageing halfback that is hit and miss

I'm happy to lay them this year. Maybe scrape in the bottom of the 8 but absolutely no way they will top 4

Cheers,
moffo

I think their "best pack" is over hyped.

Yep they have the best front row rotation in Shillo, TLL and White. I also rate Harrision and think Fensom can be something good. However everyone else in their pack is deadset sh*t.

Most Raiders fans are a lot more apprehensive than the 'experts', that's for sure. It's our strongest squad in more than a decade, but Orford's fitness will be a key issue. If you're the opposition, you'll be wanting to catch us early this year.
