Early reports are that Hunt will keep the 7...

Madge isn't going to risk Reynolds in this game unless he is 100% fit. Reynolds tested his hamstring at training on Saturday, and got through without complaint.

Madge will consult club medicos before making a final decision.

I expect he'll get named in the 21 and do a fitness test during the captains run before Madge makes his final call.

Madge said:

“He (Reynolds) is coming along all right,” Maguire said.

“He’s probably touch and go I think (for the Raiders clash).

“The players who are on the sidelines are working really hard to give themselves an opportunity.

“Ezra (Mam), Selwyn (Cobbo), Xavier (Willison) and ‘Gem’ (Gehamat Shibasaki) are there and have had to do a bit of work.”

What’s everyone’s thoughts re the preferred timeslot for this game ? Canberra apparently pushing for Sunday afternoon, which I would think suits the Broncos’ strengths

Sunday would mean a 6 day turn around if we lose. Friday arvo game would suit our footy a bit better though.

His post game presser the round didn’t give me a strong impression that Reynolds was a sure thing
 
Raiders asked for a Sunday final and may yet get it. They got home final why the bloody hell do they get to pick the day.
 
You can't pick what day you play. Never been a thing and won't start being a thing this year. Its just Ricky giving himself something to use to say they're against them.

Apparently you can when your best mates with the lead broadcaster and they decide to push your narrative for you.

Broncos too weak to push back
 
Just head a stat which is juicy if true:
Since the start of Origin in 1980, no team has ever won a premiership without at least one Origin player in their spine. RIP Raiders if true.

That is one obtuse stat to have dredged up lol
 
Fox are reporting that they have given Raiders their wish for the game to be played Sunday. Crazy 😂

And people around here think that Sydney media don't control the game

I understand they are bad and have way too much power on all facets of the game, but the teams have never been able to pick when they play just because they won minor premiership. Changing that just because of Ricky is absolutely absurd.
