LIVE GAME 2025 Season Opener, Las Vegas Discussion *Spoilers*

[yeti]

I like the Raiders for this one. Should be a close game though.

Corey Hosburgh looking like a real athlete this year.

 

[Tucker]

ESL ref always gave the benefit to the attacking team in a try scoring situation.
First try attempt seen by an NRL ref and he goes up as no try.

 

[Tucker]

Good decision.

 

[old_man_tiger]

Raiders looking good early. Warriors look poor. Ref is even worse. Called play on for a bounced ball in the ruck, never seen that.

 

[Ron Brodrick's Spirit]

That's what happens when you run a play like a robot and don't look at what the defence is doing. Very poor by the Warriors.
It's only first game, but they really look like a bottom feeder team.

My usual site isn't working anyone got a live stream they can PM me?

 

[innsaneink]

I’ve got raiders in this. Never underestimate them

Tipped them too

 

[Tucker]

Raiders looking great.
The game itself is a little messy but the level of defence is miles above the ESL game so that’s to be expected.

 

[diedpretty]

Warriors attack is ordinary - no one is going to the line - just lots of passing from one side to the other without anyone going forward.

They’re big and strong , should look to get an arm free . Especially fisher Harris . He looks like he could get an arm free at will . But is playing the panthers style of hitting the defensive line dropping and getting to your feet quickly .
I’m not sure that’s what the warriors need .
I also don’t think the halves are taking advantage of any momentum created through quick play the balls .
So many times I’ve seen Egan jump out looking to get in behind the ruck , or have a runner push to hit that hole , and he’s out there by himself . Both halves and CNK need to be better .

Surprised TMM was left out of the Warriors squad

I really like the Raiders jersey

Should be a try

Looks great from a diztance

My dear old mum used to say " blue and green should never be seen"

 

[Tucker]

What’s the go with modern fullbacks not leaping to defend bombs?
It is becoming more and more prevalent.

 

[Tucker]

I really like the Raiders jersey

It looks great

 

[Ron Brodrick's Spirit]

Canberra are really big on offloads.
I saw Ricky say that just playing the grind won't win games anymore and he's looking to put more into their game.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Glad we didn't play the Raiders 1st up always good early, they have speed in the backs likewise Titans.

I love that. A return to playing the footy of the 90’s. We’ll take the same approach.
