Round 3: RAIDERS vs TITANS (2022)

We should be able to beat the Raiders but I Know everytime we play them jack wighton is man of the match and scores atleast two tries
 
If the fullback or winger goes to ground
Why don't we wait for them to get up and drag them back instead of making an involunatry tackle
I saw that so many times with Reece Walsh
He just dived on the floor
Why don't we wait for him to get up and then smash him
 
it's never easy beating Canberra in Canberra tbh.

Too right. I'd at least prefer to do it outside of winter though.

Cowboys v Raiders highlights for what it's worth.

I wouldn't mind seeing Corey Thompson at FB this week tbh. I haven't been too impressed with JC so far this year, and I don't think Sami or Marzhew deserve to be dropped either, both have been good.

In saying that I think you could justify giving JC more time at FB to find his groove, since it's still really early on but unless he improves his form soon, I think he should probably be in QCup a bit longer
 
I’m not anti JC I just think he’s not quite NRL ready and we are playing for keeps now not experimenting. Also neither Fogarty nor Sexton have been able to get Fifita moving on the right. Perhaps that’s his problem because he went pretty well on the left in attack until moved, admittedly his defense was poor … stand deeper and run on to it Dave.
 
Anyone watch these guys play vs the Cowboys? Obviously they lost but any comments on how they played and strengths/weaknesses?
 
From what I saw their left edge defence was pretty weak (even let Townsend make a linebreak lol) but they'll have Schneider, Rapana, and maybe Cotric back this week so it could be quite a different team. A lot of basic errors from them which isn't going to happen every week (56% completion rate). We should be able to get the job done, but I hope the boys don't turn up thinking it will be an easy game.
 
The whole competition seems to have lifted a notch this year in competitiveness ... this is a winnable but danger game. They were well below par last weekend and I can't imagine them at home repeating that especially with the additions they will have. Papali is aimed right at our weakest spot. Titans x 2

I don't understand the Raiders playing Whitehead at lock. He's one of the best second rowers in the comp and now stepping up as captain in the absence of Croker/Hodgson. Surely they would want him playing 80 at second row.
 
Huge test for Sexton fermour and Herbert defending wighton on the edge. If we shut him down and complete our sets we should definitely win this one if we wanna be a top 8 side with a few bottom 8 teams from last year showing signs of improvement

Fermor defends on the other side with AJ, Kelly and Sami. It will be Fifita, Sexton, Herbert, Marzhew on that side.
