Raiders off to a cracking start. Sharks smashed 40-12

keepitup said :

Yes, a great win . . . but someone please tell me that the cross field bomb is not going to be the Raiders’ constant go-to play all year. They practiced it over and over at training on Saturday, and sure enough out it came on Sunday.

Hopefully it was a specific tactic against an identified Sharks’ weakness.

Well done Raiders! Fantastic that we’ve got so much depth – there wouldn’t be too many teams that would be able to rack up a win with injuries to their 1, 6, and 7. Williams is a great young talent, and Ferguson and White are fantastic acquisitions.

For mine, Williams was a deserved man of the match, with White, TLL, McBone and Ferguson all standouts.

Cant wait for the Donkeys on Friday night.

woof!

Great stuff – especially with Campese, Orford and Dugan not playing and Tongue and Picker going off injured.

Fantastic game from Sam Williams in his NRL debut, too.

Man of the Match on debut for Sam Williams, well done that man. Crossfield bomb for a try and a 40-20. Campo and Orford might even be a little nervous now. Great stuff raiders!

Yeah, good win but how bad are the Sharks? I think any team would’ve put 30 or 40 plus on them based on that performance.

Having said that, I reckon if they are lucky with injuries this year, they have the ability to make the top 4 – and that’s coming from a non-Raiders fan.
