pretty happy starling isn't getting a run
 
This is a beatable team.

I reckon we're in this with a better chance than wthe rest of the NRL world think.
 
Croker normally has his annual 1-2 good games against us, he must be spewing he’s out

Key will be holding their forwards at bay and if we can I think our new and improved backline can run riot
 
Good side. Will be interesting to see if Scott returns to form now his off field dramas have been sorted.

Our forwards thus year will do well against all opponents.

Canberra first up will be a good test

I think Roberts and Leilua could cause their opposites plenty of headaches.
 
That Raiders team is pretty strong on paper.
I think they will be hard to beat through the middle.I don’t expect our fowards to dominate theirs,we just need to hang with them

Hopefully our backs don’t hesitate to throw the ball around.

I agree. Papali is a problem, but he's probably the best prop in the world right now. I think we match up well across the park and have them covered for size in the middle. The big test will be who can control the ball better - If we get 50% possession and can complete at 80%, our backline can cause some problems.

We need to control Hodgson out of dummy half. His running game has torn us to shreds previously

2 knee recons back to back might slow him down a bit - although to be fair we have the same issue with Liddle, only he has more youth on his side

Yes same. I'd feel better if Blore and Musgrave were there against these guys, but Packer and Garner are on last chances so you never know. Packer has been practicing the reverse decoy.....

we probably shade them on the bench, but sticky will shift it around for sure. Talau/Mbye and the second row will be interesting to see unfold.

Papali is a big test. Tamou needs to lift us against him. Musgrave a big loss again
 
This will be a good starting test for us.
Raiders have a smart squad.
Lets hope we start strong.

If we turn up the backs could have some fun.
 
Their backrow is extremely good. Whitehead and Hudson Young will cause us drama on the edges. Tapine is a beast in the middle.Playmakers are more proven than us by a long way.

If we can hold them in the middle we have an advantage in the outside backs.
 
For me it's Wighton that needs to be contained. He gets a bad rap on here, but the guy can play. He runs hard and never gives in. Great player.
