Vs Raiders rd 20

Do or die tonight.
Post Origin.
In cold Canberra.
Down troops, but been there before.

Fogarty back for Raiders
Reason for TAB drift?
Winning rate with 59%, 38% without.

Seems like a long wait for kick off.

Both teams desperate for a win, and we have been playing a grinding style in recent weeks which suits the Raiders at home.

We need to create a few opportunities after getting the go forward.

Unfortunately I can’t see us winning this one although it’s probably season over if we lose

Fogarty back.
Reason for TAB drift?

Maybe, he was on the card from Tuesday but maybe seeing that he is definitely playing has shortened their odds

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Barnett named to start at 10.
Capewell at 12.
Halasima on bench at 17 with Ford, Lussick and Jazz.

Capewell played 72 minutes on Wednesday and Barnett 40 odd. Will be interesting to see how they go

Ok - make or break

let’s go Warriors!!

Feel we can do it since we not favourites.
Wonder how we come out of the bye.
Bench feels small.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

6 degrees, feels -1
We kick off.

It will feel like park footy for them.
As long as they realise they are in Wareioes jumpers and can't get away with the high shots and niggles.

Raiders 50m on their first 40m for us.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

We blink first.
Peki puts down bomb at the back 20m put.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Young scores off the mistake.
We had 4 guys on the blind side. Dumb.

6-0 6mins

 

[Izz]

AFB not looking particularly engaged

 

[vvvrulz]

Traded sets nicely, and then a knock on, then absolutely caught napping with a huge defensive hole

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Raiders make a break and end up throwing it away on halfway.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Woeful start on D

Cronk calling that a soft try.

All due respect that had nothing to do with softness. Our makeshift line formed their numbering up wrong.

All our men were expecting a left side dummy half raid, they went right which exposed our bunching to the left....which as I say is a formation issue.

League teams in defence are like marching girls, if you place the marchers right they are synchronized in their patternation.

I play a lot of Chess, have done from childhood, clubs and shit, ranked and all that, League patterns are simple.

Bottom line we have to find an opening game real fast, with our fullback going off that is harder.

Taine off for HIA. Independent doctor call.

Pompey nearly bundled out and flicks it to CHT who can't hold onto it near the line.
