Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2824388, member: 8215"] You pretty much just nailed the Raiders' shortcomings. Believing that players like Boyd or Paulo are better than Blair, because they are big and strong and make lots of metres. Great to have in your team, no doubt, but only half of the game is attack. No point making metres and scoring points if you allow the opposition to make more metres and score more points. Blair is worth those two players combined because he prevents metres being made against us, prevents fast play the balls, pressures kickers and generally tidies up. The Raiders have excellent attack but just shithouse defence, the only way they can prevent points against them is to hold on to the ball. So it becomes a lottery - the attack relies on risky plays, and if they stick, you win, if they don't, you lose. And with so many dumb-shit airheads, and the fact that they're so easily ruffled, it's no surprise that even down on confidence and form we've been able to account for you these last two years. But thanks for the laugh. Losing Milford still grinds doesn't it. Keep telling yourself it was the money (despite the Raiders offering a million dollars) if it makes you sleep better at night.
