Message: [QUOTE="Matheos, post: 3018492, member: 8607"] Thought I’d focus on a Raiders preview seeing as our own troubles are well documented and covered! Surprisingly, we have a decent record against Canberra in recent history. They haven’t beaten us since 2013 and we have won 3 in a row in the nation’s capital. Yes Canberra have been impressive to start 2019 and the public is high on them and they are media darlings at the moment (complete opposite to us).... however we are a huge chance of beating them. They have played 4 out of their 5 matches against bottom 8 teams from last season and this so called “best defense in the league” is a bit of a stretch tbh....In Round 1 you shouldn’t look into it too much - they faced a Titans side who lost both starting halves inside the first 5 minutes, torrential rain and the game got away from GC and it ended up a training run for 40 minutes. Then in the last 3 consecutive weeks they have watched their opponents produce a high error rate - knights (13), cowboys (14) and Eels (15) which makes it easier to defend; ie. more possession, less fatigued, etc. The one high level team they did play (Melbourne), easily dispatched them and was dominant. They are understandably, full of confidence, so we need to get off to a good start, force pressure early and I think we will see them struggle a little. I’m still unconvinced by their spine and think Nickoll-Klozstead has a few errors in him and Jack Wighton I don’t rate as a playmaker. I also think keeping Sezer on the pine in favour of Sam Williams is actually a downgrade for them. We need to be enthusiastic, disciplined and desperate. Our season is on the line.
