I’m predicting 17 of those blokes to be hurting in the shed after the game along with 47 texers on Ricky Stuart’s phone
 
Josh Hodgson back in is big for the Raiders.
We have to play well this week they love to get up for the Tigers. Hold them early and they will Fade.
 
They have an excellent record against us of late, but I reckon we will get them this week.
 
Don't want to put a downer on it but I think we'll get them at the end of the year be very surprised if we do this week. At least we've got a fair match in terms of fading / not closing out games.
 
Bloody hell - we play Roosters and Tupou makes his comeback and kills us. Then Cleary makes his comeback against us. Raiders play without Hodgson all year and he comes back against us. They have been rudderless; this week he’ll guide them around.

It's a mystery to me why that squad is not higher up the ladder. I can only assume that Ricky is a dud coach.

Couldn't agree more. I love watching Canberra, they have talent across the park (except maybe fullback). I would give my left nut for their wingers/centers… I keep the right one for Damien Cook.

Yeah what the hell! Why is it always us? And of course all these guys immediately play fantastic even when they've been out for months :brick:
 
Raiders have put on us in the last 3 meetings, something like 150 points and we've only scored 20 odd in total. Here's hoping the Raiders forget to catch the bus up the highway, or the wrong team turns up .. it's either Raiders or Faiders depends on the day .. I will do my best down here to sabotage the bus before she's leaves .. !!

Coincidentally 2 of those last 3 floggings from Canberra were early in the year and at GIO stadium.
In both instances 2016/2017 they were humbled by the Sharks the game before both times 16-40 and 16-42.
The sharks have already played them a couple of rounds ago and only won by a margin of 8\. So I don't know if that will give Canberra more confidence this year knowing they are closer to teams in results but they certainly won't be out to reclaim the faith of the locals by Smashing the next team they play at home as they are not at home this time. The last game we played them was a right off as that was around the time of the talk JT was getting the sack. Think our chances of preventing a flogging are much better this time around.
 
Raiders can beat any team and beat them by some margin, but that team very seldom turns up. I would like to think we are in with a real chance, but we tend to shoot ourselves in the foot most weeks
 
Hodgkin to me is better than Smith the last 3 years say but thankfully there is no way he is match fit for 80\. Canberra is a good side without luck and the way things are shaping up along with us are the two main chances outside the 8 who can get in.
After imo the disappointing losses the last two weeks our season really rests with trying to beat Canberra and the GC at home which along with the bye gives us 20pts and gets us well above these competitors.
They are desperate and due for some luck so we will have to be real good.
Above all else our kicking game must be exceptional and the passes must stick because we may need 22 points plus here.
