[Rage]

titans to win

[Social Loafer]

19 man bench

That should ensure plenty of fresh legs

Raiders 1-12.

[Boofhead]

Titans 13+.

[Coaster]

This is a must win for us,

This is a big game!!!!

We win this we have the bye the week after, we will be sitting on 14 points, and most likely in the 8, and will have Preston and Walker, and O'Dwyer set to return

[Social Loafer]

Who's up for a signature bet?

[Capital_Shark]

Neil Henry is a genius!

Tough one to call seeing as fox hasn't replayed the Raiders game for me yet. Probably gonna lean toward the Titans though.

[Ryan]

Who's up for a signature bet?

Yeah righto, why not?

I couldn't be bothered making my own, so someone else can have a chop for me........ Any takers?

Canberra can win this game off the bench if we go with the right combination..

Miller
Weyman
TLL
Hinchcliffe

TLL and Hinchcliffe coming in for Turner and Jones would give us 2 big blokes off the bench.. Miller also doesn't take a backwards step to no one.
Titans don't have that devastating big guy on the bench that can cause trouble for the defence. Kahler and Hodgson are better off as 2nd rowers IMO... Was only really an Elliott to thing to make Hodgo and to a lesser extent Kahler front rowers.

You guys are favorites!!

Which is a good thing for us, becuase whatever has been working so far for you, has been doing to well.

[Big J]

I never thought I would say this in a million years but I think the key could be how effectively we deal with Campese as well as Dobsons kicking game. I thought Campese was tremendous against the Dragons on the weekend and Dobsons kicking game is A1. Undoubtedly we will struggle to muscle up against the bigger raiders pack but I think if we play smart with plenty of 2 wide of the ruck plays and second phase from Laffranchi as well as limiting their halves attacking chances we can be sitting pretty after the bye.

Titans 1-12.
