Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3143972, member: 1899"] It's heart-breaking for the Raiders. Right as it appeared they had assembled a premiership winning team, it all goes awry in a matter of weeks. You could even argue it went wobbly in the lead up into the Grand Final where Bateman's future became a topic of discussion leading into the contest - clearly somebody wasn't playing ball with Moses. They're still a quality team, but they're just missing those hard edge players like Soliola, Horsburgh and Bateman. They gave them a real point of difference and with Hodgson joining them on the sideline, it's tough seeing them mount any kind of challenge for the premiership. The trick will be to make the 8. They can't allow these set-backs to deny them a place in the finals. Melbourne did well to back up their colossal win against Sydney. They were clearly battered, but they just stuck to their brand of footy and when the opportunities came they capitilised on them. I love Brandon Smith as a player, he just throws himself into everything and rides every play. A big theme for me this week is players bringing energy on the field, and very few look as busy as him.
