Papali and Young, right? Their only Origin players.

Would love to see guys like Suli, Sua, Liddle step up in their performance & leadership while we've got a few injuries. I liked the tactic of getting the ball to the edges but also quick dummy half runs when the markers weren't set. It helped the eels were sliding in the 1st half & I assume we won't get that freedom against the raiders but the strategy was good.

By the sound of it
Blocka in Loko or Hame
Ray and Sua/Molo edge
Backs as expected
So I’m guessing Nick misses out??

I'm thinking and seeing in my mind that if we have a lead from the start of the game against the Raiders by say 10 points or even 16 points, you can be rest assured that the Raiders will put their attack and defence into top gear to run us down. Alternatively, the Raiders will get that lead of 16 points from the start and finish in the second half with a further 18 points. We will be trying to bridge the gap after the first half but cannot do it and the final score will be 34 - 16 to the Raiders. Sorry guys!

Surprised to see Vili get dropped, I thought he was pretty good. Molo covers the edges, Loko & Sele for punch through the middle. I'm happy with this side considering our injuries. Emre Guler revenge game!

Issue is the raiders footwork through our team, we don't have good lateral movement.

Glad to see Finau in but can't understand why Fifita was dropped.

Well we are $3.63 outsiders, Raiders $1.29 with the majority picking a Raiders victory by 13+ . I think it will be closer than everyone believes.

I would like to see Coach Flanno instruct Suli and Allan to drop back on the 5th tackle occasionally keeping our wingers up just to put the Raider's kickers in two minds and also to give Gutho some assistance.

I hope Finau kills it and maybe Sloan can get his head together and have a better game, dont know why Fafita wouldnt be there maybe an injury. I would have liked to see Nick T in the second row, oh well beggars cant be choosers.

Steps up every game. Been consistently one of our best since coming here.

Ditto Jd. Suli needs to feed the skillful Finau at every chance.

Bout time too. Ask our coach. Boggles the mind his selections at times.

13 Jack de Belin.
As usual Jack will be doing the heavy lifting, even heavier now without Toby.
No word re his injury as yet but Hamish and Luch return R19.
