Really need to consolidate last week's win with a good back up performance this week.

Ricky will have the boys fired up.

Canberra Stadium is a Bermuda triangle as well.

Hate playing there. worse car/bus trips back to Sydney when we lose

Yep need to consolidate.
worry about our own prep

Yep, a loss here undermines all the good we have done to start the season so a W is really needed.
We start coming up against the Storm, Panthers, Roosters shortly, so we want as many W’s as we can (including the Dragons the week later).

Yep, risks to us increased V FAST speedy teams, which i reckon Raiders are.Completions like last week reduce their fast guys'"advantage on us.

No fogarty is such a huge out for them. Decent kick pressure and we will dominate field position and put them away.

Canberra again? Ok.
Wonder if they'll be fired up after capitulating against us a few weeks ago.

No matter the opposition, if have the same minimal handling errors like we did aginst the Cows we prob win (or at least have a good chance of winning) most games.

this makes sense!!

Minimise errors and hold that pill - makes a big difference

The Cowboys were not very good but we never let them get into the game.

If we play with the level of completions and discipline we did against the Cows I think we will naturally put on the points and the Raiders will eventually just beat themselves as the pressure, fatigue and frustration mounts (they are kinda all over the place).

Seeing if we can back it up and show the Cows game wasn't just a one off is a good objective for this weekend because playing that way gives us a good chance against any team we come up against and will take us a long way.

A while back it used to be a case of we would win in Canberra and Raiders would come up to Sydney and win at Shark Park tit for tat.

Canberra isn't like Suncorp Stadium or Brookvale over for us. We are a better team we just have to show it again and it won't matter what the weather, what the crowd, who the ref, where the stadium we should be good enough to get the 2 points.

Having said all that lose this game and season over will never support this team again 😾

Not sure if he'll be selected but we have to put pressure on Chevy like the Broncs did. I am not saying he is the danger player but if we can get errors out of him, his confidence will drop even lower.

It'll be Tapine and Papilii that we'll again have to watch and shut down. Fogarty won't be there, Rapana won't be there, those things will make it easier for us.

But we need to roll up the sleeves, not take anything for granted and get the job done. If I were Fitz, I'd just be bringing Katoa back in for Stonestreet.

Here is my 17:

Kennedy
Katoa
Ramien
Iro
Mulitalo
Trindall
Hynes
Hazleton
Brailey
Kaufusi
Nikora
Wilton
McInnes

Williams
Rudolf
Talakai
BHU

Happy to swap BHU and Rudolf with Hazleton and OK but happy if he wants to keep them as is.
