PRE-GAME [Round 2, 2025] Broncos vs Raiders

Looking forward to this game. Its going to be more of a test than the Rorters, who i think were as bad as the Titans side we played in the trials. We had the perfect game to build confidence in what we can do, now we have a game against a more competitive side who are also playing with confidence.

I still think we will win comfortably, 20 points plus.
 
Raiders have looked really up for it in all their games so far.

They will not be a pushover like rorters.

They looked super fit and super fast against warriors… but they lacked a little composure.

The game plan from us tonight looked fantastic… Reynolds did a lot of kicking, but Benny chimed in with some great kicking as well.

Teddy who is an elite defensive fullback was getting caught out numerous times.

Weekes up against those two… could be telling.

We completed at 84% in the wet and were at 94% early on… raiders completion rate at 69% in bone dry indoor conditions and coming back from Vegas.

They will definitely be up for this game, but for us this year it will be all about setting he platform with Payne and Patty, and putting the opposition under scoreboard pressure… then grind them into the ground off Reynolds and Bhunt’s kicking game

Hunt has made a massive difference. He takes so much pressure off Arey to not have to try to do everything its going to be huge. I'm not seeing Ezra taking that 6 shirt off him tbh unless our hookers drop form.

Hopefully Ezra takes a leaf out of paix’ book. Realise he may not get a start, work hard on his game be it in qcup or at training. He’ll get his chance eventually so he needs to stay ready.
 
We're a much better team that the Raiders ...

But, I'm always wary when playing them because they are the grubbiest team in the league, at least they have been in the past

100%, I was just about to say my biggest concern for this game isn't whether we win or not, but whether we get through with no major injuries given how grubby Canberra is and how hard they try to injure key smaller men - especially when they spit the dummy when they're losing.
 
Taking my kids (unfortunately are Raiders fans) to this game.

Poor kids are going to be traumatised.

I'm going too - just waiting for last minute weather to decide where I'll sit.

Because it's a Saturday night game, I think we'll have 40% of the crowd. Was shocked at how many of us showed out in 2023!

Yea, the away supporters bay is showing as sold out!
 
As always Ricky will have his boys geed up to play grub footy.

In the past we have really struggled when teams get physical and bring the grub.

Madge is the type of guy who will have us prepared mentally for this and also ready to dish it back.

Looking forward to this game as it will be an early barometer of real change going forward.
 
let's see how the fitness is, canberra are going to run at us all day. should be a good test.

Anyone got word on Walshy's calf? Hobbling around a bit last night, and compressed for the flight home. Hobbled down the plane stairs.

I remember seeing him get up lame after a tackle, so hoping he just copped a knee to it and it's corked.
