Pre-Game Raiders v Manly [Round 24, 2022]

Shouldn't Schuster be wearing the #20, sponsored by KFC?!

I don't care !
I Love It !

Sticking with the failed Burbo experiment I see. Oh well I guess nothing to loose, sticking to the experiment. If the experiment doesn't work, try, try, try, try again.

Not at all surprising, I'd have actually been shocked if he were to run a few of the younger players, if he keeps this up their managers won't waste time finding a club who will offer them a 1st grade opportunity, you would think our team was on fire with Haslers unwillingness to bring them up, especially when there's nothing to play for, unbelievable

I'd like to help you out. But just another head scratcher from Des.

He's a fullback/half isn't he? Aren't we needing a fullback right now?

The guy has been in the squad all year yet the only time he has played is as a reserve hooker.

I'm somewhat interested in seeing Vaega but like last week with Smalley, he shouldn't be prioritised over playing Weekes. Fairly easy to put Koula back in the centres or wing and putting Weekes at fullback to at least see what he can do.

Agree about Weekes. What is the point of him playing juniors or with Blacktown?? Give the kid a run in his preferred position, in games that matter very little.

What is Des actually trying to achieve with this team list?

Referee. Klein. Bunker. Atkins

Consistency ?

 

[Rocky]

bazaar really, you look at the team sheet player for player you'd think we would win, but we all know better. If Canberra turn up to play then we lose by 20+.

Yeah thought the same against the sharks last week as well.

And the news just gets better and better.

With only 2 games to go now, the changes won't be Weekes, more like months.

Let yourself out ...

Doesn't mean very little to me, a win would make me feel a bit better.
Probably the under-pressure coach thinks it matters, too.

 

[deanm]

Fair dinkum, does Atkins enjoy penetrating the Mighty Sea Eagles ! I swear he requests our games

 

[Budgie]

Consistency ?

May have had a little guffaw at that one Woodsie

 

[deanm]

What is Des actually trying to achieve with this team list?

To upset us Sausage Roll munchers ?

 

[court83]

A win for us would end the raiders finals hope..
That’s literally the only interest I have in this game… but looking at that team list, ide say another touch up is on the horizon

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Raiders 40+

Raiders 48
Us 6

If ever there was a time to test Shoey in 5/8 its the last two rounds. Yet here we are again with 4 departing players in the squad and next years potential starters nowhere to be seen.

DEKlein and headmaster Atkins....it's a stich up !!

Even just giving Foz a break on the bench during the game and moving Josh to 5/8 would be good to see.
