Oh fuck off badger

Interesting maybe the Raiders will have a fade like usual.

 

[tajhay]

Bah

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Lol are these guys our premiers? Taking slow play the balls with a minute to go, against the Tigers?!

What was Ricky talking about weak gutted dogs again

 

[Warriorshopeful]

Tigers looked so much better with Fainu, wtf did they play Mason for the first half

They certainly ran out of steam.

Reminded me of our games against St George and co. Score in the first, hold in the second.

Had some tough calls. But as usual, Tigers butchered their chances. Raiders aren't infallible however. Certainly are beatable.

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Difference between top 4 teams like us and Raiders and bottom 8 teams like Tigers and Dragons really isn't much. Bottom teams just don't know how to close out games. The top 4 do. That game was almost identical to our game in Wollongong.

Not very convincing tonight were they. Still can't really see anyone but Melbourne winning it this year, they're a class above.

Everyone just assumes Melbourne will come good towards the end of the year. I'm not so sure. They've already proven that they are beatable if i)it is night, ii) there is rain and iii) they do not have their full spine. Unlucky for them that the GF is not played in Melbourne during the daytime. Gritty, grindy sides like Raiders and Sharks have been shown to be their kryptonite this year. I think we have the gameplan to trouble them if we meet them in the finals.

I assume they will because they nearly always do, provided most of their spine is there. But yeah there's always hope bro.

they didn't in 2023 after all the assurances that they would indeed come good towards the back end of that year.

A week's a long time in this game mate, don't know about you but I can't see anyone but Penrith winning it this year.

Dolphins vs Knights in Perth. Well that is one way around the Origin players and travelling back from Perth.

Play in Perth.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Switched after the last game.

Oh shit! Contracts don't mean shit anymore huh?

 

[Rizzah]

Dolphins are lethal at times. Fun to watch.

They've got lethal speed. Hammer , Averillo, Farmworth are fast as heck. Farmworth an elite center. A star in the making at 7. A gun try scorer and master goal kicker in Isaako. If they can sign a couple of gun forwards. Look out!
