Sticky Set To Rest Players In Tigers Clash

I agree with Ink. Stuart resting players has the potential to be a disaster for us. We could easily relax and think the job will do itself like the first 20 minutes of the Titans game.

Yes how many times has that bitten us on the ass! Historically, we are one of the worst teams for getting complacent when the opposition is weakened and God knows why - we're hardly ever in a position to become complacent!

The "baby Broncos"

Everyone one is assuming the Titans will lose.

I reckon that is close to a 50/50 game.

They are good under dogs.

I'm pretty sure they have the wood over the cowboys too Eddie…...
 
He is probably only talking in regards to Sezer and if hes not quite right may rest him, cant see too many changes…..momentum at this time of year is crucial, players want to play, you dont want to be tampering with any roll the team is on
 
The Raiders have incredible depth they could rest a couple of forwards and not lose much.
They are scarey all over the park Very concerrned about how we handle them out wide.
If our last meeting doesn't motivate them to not take them lightly nothing will.

Good point, they have won a few games away from home this year when they have been significant underdogs… Neil Henry probably has a better idea than most how to win in Townsville as well.

Hopefully the Cowboys put 50 on them...
 
The danger if he does rest 2 or 3 is the replacements , they want to show how good they are as well and force there way into the team , we need to just worry about our selves , train the same as last week and put in for each other again , Defence will win this game for us , we can attack ,
I can smell Semi Final Footy for us , we just need to turn up

We are not good at winning last round games,especially ones we need to win

When was there last one of those? 2012 I guess, but we needed to beat Melbourne by about a hundred to be a chance. Other than that we've either been well in or - more frequently - well out by the final round for the best part of a decade.
 
I just hope the Cowboys can win so Sunday's game is a massive event at LO….Would be a real downer if we are playing for 9th position
 
Raiders are building nicely..

There my sentimental pick of the bunch if the Tigers are out.

Would love to make the 8, Such a boost for a club making hard decisions and building nicely.
 
He's FOS - He's come out with a outlandish statement every game this year to take the heat off his boys,….

By saying this, Absolutely NO ONE is Talking about his boys capitulation late against Manly...
They didn't lose, But they did fall apart - Seems all but forgotten after that comment.

Clever prick.
 
Hi All,

My first post, couldn't find an intro page. Long time fan, first time forum post.

Regardless, the raiders have been strong even when they have had players out. We shouldn't worry about about who Sticky plays and who he doesn't, just focus on playing whats in front of us.

Im having a Thiaday moment "wasn't the best post but i got the job done"!

Welcome TCL.
You're right… They have a lot of depth... Guys like fens of f & Vaughan in reggies... They're strong all over the park
 
What we need to happen

Cowboys beat Titans. Very likely

Sharks upset Storm at home. 50/50\. Storm don't lose two in a row

Stuart rests half his squad allowing the good guys, WT to play semi finals.

We will probably meet the Broncos in the semis and get our bums kicked.

At least a spring board to season 2017 when Farah hopefully gone, a full time hooker and JJ Feilse in the top squad. Our forwards are looking good for 2017.

If ET is not resigned then Edwards to train as lock.
 
God Ricky would hate to loose a game of marbles but in saying that resting some players might be in his interest.

Ricky can't achieve a Minor Premiership anyway and if we had the old semi final system where 1st plays 8th, 2nd plays 7th, 3rd plays 6th etc…. then finishing 2nd would be crucial to Ricky Stuart as it guarantees him a 2nd week of finals footy but with the new system top 4 get a 2nd chance if they loose anyway and that is what maybe Ricky is thinking in giving some of his players a rest.....a bit of a nothing game for the Raiders as there assured of a Top 4.

Can't wait for the weekend.
 
They get a benefit of a "home semi" in week 2 I think if they're 2nd….as opposed to possibly going to NQ, melb or Brisbane maybe.... I may be wrong
