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

[Seagles68]

We certainly have the wood on them at Bruce Stadium. Even their own supporters are divided on who's going to win. Going on their last last game 2pt win against the Knights, we are a chance alright.

I liked your thinking and then I did a stupid thing and remembered we also had the wood on the Sharks at Brookie. Once those Raiders supporters give the players the clap, they'll get inspired. Hey, hang on - supporters giving the players the clap - that might work for us!

Big difference between the Sharks and the Faders this season tho.

Yep. Bloody ex Manly players!

Im not saying Manly are in form but we will win this one. Anyone see Canberra play recently? They are not the team vying for top 8 ... they are a rabble and we will tear them to pieces

The Titans say hello - pumping what was it again past us? However bad they are, they don't come close to our ineptitude both on and off the park at the moment.

May God have mercy on our souls.

Hallelujah feathered friend

Basically, we have next to zero chance but NOT zero

Stranger things have happened.

But very very hard to see as this group just has nothing to play for , not going to be in the finals , not playing to avoid the spoon , win or lose we finish 11th.

Not much motivation in that is there

I'd like to think, some self respect.

Love your optimism, and then I remember watching us these past few weeks. They maybe a rabble but jeeze we have been rabble-rousers

P

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

Punish the players for their pathetic efforts in the last couple of games

Is that you Trent?

The raiders are there to be beaten if anyone can put enough points on them in the first half. They really don't come out of the sheds the old green machine.

If anything, I hold hope of us doing this as for the first 20 at least we seem to look like a decent team most of the time.

Humphries or Weekes to get the late call up.

Humphries to give Croker a breather in the middle because he is going to need it ,Papali,Tapine , Starling will be working the middle over

The Titans were a rabble until they came up against this side.

I’d give the Tigers a 50/50 shot against Manly, and everyone else would be deserved favourites.

Canberra win this comfortably.

The main difference

We have zero to play for
They have everything to play for

The second difference

We are walking wounded
They are virtually full strength

Really it’s no wonder they’ll beat us by 30 maybe 40

I've been going to the Canberra game for years but this is the 1st time me and my brother have decided not to even bother.

 

[qldeagle]

It's going to be an absolute embarrassment this weekend. No one's interested, motivated or giving a sh*t. Split team, injuries and juniors. What could possibly go wrong. Canberra by 50.

Well there goes any excitement and confidence I had for this game with posts like this. I'd like to think Manly will be able to keep the faiders under 30pts, but I doubt it.

Don’t forget that’s just my opinion, yours can be different
