Foxsports informs us that the Raiders no longer have a for and against problem after blitzing the North Queensland Cowboys in the cold of the Bruce night.

Four tries to the ingenue Reece Robinson didn’t hurt either.

Also its only 15 points not 30 as the Broncos would imnprove by 15 and the Raiders would be 15 worse off meaning The broncos would have a 1 point For and Against Advantage.

Still a loss by more than 14 and they dopn’t deserve to be there. They should have beaten the tigers and Bunnies at home this year and we’d be playing for a top 4 spot or maybe even 2nd!

I know shoulda woulda coulda, but its that close this year and letting teams in with big leads at home is something even the Raiders have rarely done in the bad years. Good news is away form is no longer the hot topic!

@#2: Tooks, it’s a brave brave person that builds his or her hopes on the Dragons not choking at this stage of the year.

Haha, true. I’m not a Raiders fan, to be honest, but hope they get through. Despite my prediction earlier in the week, I think if Lockyer is out, Raiders will win anyway.

Dragons won’t choke until week one of the finals, when they will probably play the Raiders.

@#2: Tooks, it’s a brave brave person that builds his or her hopes on the Dragons not choking at this stage of the year.

Even if they lose to the Broncos (by less than 30), they’ll still be in the 8, as long as Dragons beat Souths.

Great stuff, congratulations boys.

The win puts us in the eight and if we can win next Friday night’s game against the Broncos (highly likely given their injury list) we’ll be playing finals footy!

Get on board Canberra.
