Round 22 - Raiders vs Broncos - Build Up Thread

[Fozz]

I think I'll tip the Raiders.

Awesome.

Seriously did anyone suspect anything but Hoffman and Parker in for the Broncos?

Parker isn't in. I wanted a change because mediocrity shouldn't be rewarded.

 

[Jeba]

Don't we always just name the Monday night team on the rare occasion that we play on Monday night? Even if Hook was to make changes, he's had less than 24 hours to think about it so I'd say this is just for the Big League programs. (or at least I hope so). I think Brizz's team is spot on.

ya - most teams do. i've seen the panthers name the same team from the night before with 2 guys who were clearly injured and going to be out for a few weeks.

its only for media purposes that the teams are 'named' tuesday. as you said i doubt hook would know the make up of the team at this point in the week. would they have even had a training session? recovery day today.. injury extents would not yet be known.

obviously when we play friday nights we do know the make up of the team by tuesday.

anyway i really hope this is the case because i will be very disappointed if we line up the same way..

Cant wait for the bookies to put up the Raiders 13+ price.

If that team runs out as named we will get flogged.

But we cant play that bad again surely.

Our attack has flatlined and our defence is starting to as well, figure it out.

We'll turn it around like the Cowboys in round 1.

I just put a few bucks on canberra

If the Broncos win I'll be delerious

If they lose, I'll be gutted, but comforted by my winnings :)

I'm not going to this game. Don't want to take a weekend off work to watch this.

You need to remain positive in situations like this. Go out and support your team.

 

[dukey]

No frigging way. Not doing a six-hour round trip to watch them get thumped by the Raiders 56-0 again. Goddammit Broncos.

 

[Son Edo]

Trust me such a thing will not happen.

 

[noisetheory]

^ thats a fair drive, and understandable.

the worst part is, if we do get badly beat again - it will no doubt be that tosser ferguson who runs rampant and makes us look like complete amatuers.

so please, griffin, broncs.. find something this week to turn our season around. i cant stand that goofs dancing in teh sheds.

 

[Big Pete]

Later that week.

60-0 Raiders.

Son Edo: Well, I was right.

 

[Son Edo]

By about 10 realistically.

 

[Big Pete]

Hoffman will miss the Raiders clash but Parker (knee) and Hodges (ankle) are chances to return.

Misprint from the Courier Mail or is everything just out to conspire against me?

The heck is going on?
