TeamList Raiders vs Warriors - [Round 20, 2024]

[Ever Hopeful]

I was hoping there might be a sneaky bench spot for Sifakula, but he's not even on the extended. Though not sure who I'd replace him with, Leka is there, which is great and Ale and Bunty can't get a look in.

Hopefully we see lots of effort from Leiataua. I'm not convinced about RTS on the wing, but happy enough to see what he can do. He had his best game last time out.

I'm with Defence on the backline. For sure there is some upside, but there are a lot of unknowns in terms of combinations and defence

 

[Inruin]

So, Barney should be good to go. He only has a game against QLD

Capewell on the other hand is up against a much stronger opposition so may struggle to make the Raiders game.

 

[Wrighty]

Dont have a problem with them as individuals but as a collective they dont give me a lot of confidence.
The fowards look good as usual.

Webster can't win
"Ring the changes Webster since we are losing. "
"When is Ali going to play we need more speed and youth"
"Ali is the Future"
"I get don't change a winning team but we are losing more than we win"

So Webster delivers all that and Defence is like "As a collective the selected backline don't have established combinations therefore I don't like it"
C''mon every rose has its thorns. The Rose is that backline is sizzling hot with talent. If Roger fires on the wing then we will have the best wing pairing in the competition on Friday night. Ali if he can get through a game uninjured could be a circuit breaker player.

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Nah Webby will give the soft NSW player a deserved rest after warming the pine for NSW the last few games.

Must be absolutely terrifying sitting on that bench even when you know you're not playing.
Good luck to him tomorrow night tho!

 

[Muddogz]

Good team. Little concerned with Ali potentially carrying an injury.

Have to ask what MGT has done wrong?

MGT missed 5 tackles in his appearance and Farnworth ran for nearly 200 metres. Ali has done a good job in his two games so far and while not defensively great either he offers a bit more on attack in my view.

 

[KPWarrior]

It's not a bad team with what we have available.

It's only the Raiders!

 

[Bruiser]

Cast your mind back to when it was only the titans

 

[Worried2Death]

Bit of a circuit-breaker to reset the team for the big late season charge. No more Tohu, he's a massive loss but hasn't been as effective playing one handed. Two criticised players recently Monty and Charnze having a break, Rog moving out of centre, good mix of youth coming in, I've got high hopes now.

I was hoping Sifakula was in the 17 and if not at least the extended bench.
I am not worried at all about the backline.
We beat Penrith and the Dolphins with much rearranging.

 

[Wrighty]

Is there anyone else out there who is old like me who is worried about nodding off to sleep and not making it through the 10pm starting game?

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Auto correct strikes again? what were you actually wanting to say?

I think he means small. Like you travel light, need small bag.

Tevaga and Ford being the props.

There you go Wrighty. But I have had auto correct issues before. And I do enjoy the following meme quote......

The creator of auto correct has died. His funnel is tomato.

With Jazz Ford and Freddy we have a whole front row rotation. They are all just not as sizeable as a traditional Canberra team

Reckon they’ll want to see a few weeks of consistency like Halasima was showing. If he has a couple more like the previous second half he’ll pick himself

Just have a nap after tea grandad, half an hour and I'm set to go till midnight. And while I'm snoozing I don't have to watch Love Island or whatever crap the wife's got on tv

Wrighty I struggle getting through the game with the start time at 8 pm in Qld

 

[Worried2Death]

Peak rest home content in here today

 

[Tokyo Warrior]

7pm start in Japan. Should be able to make it to half time before I doze off.

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

Certain win.

100% win record Ali is back in the team

We can be so confident, Wrighty doesn’t need to stay up and watch it

What's your usual pre game ritual.
Mine is first beer 2 hours before.
So have some self control and start ripping in at 8.00pm.

It's still only the Titans too! But Webster doesn't know what Des does.
