N.B. It's a reduced weekend of just five games with six teams sitting it out: Broncos, Dragons, Storm, Titans, Cowboys and Sea Eagles.
ROUND 11 QUESTIONS:

Coverage of the Raiders v Dogs game from Canberra Stadium live starts in about an hour's time here.
We'll see whether Raiders can build on last weeks revival.

[G Las D]

Queenslander should be along any time now ...

I'll double check to make sure I put you straight down on the list this week QLDer

[G Las D]

PSTV are currently showing last week's Souths v Wests game, and then the Canberra v Canterbury-Bankstown game will be underway.

Biggest upset or will the result just reflect ladder positions?

[G Las D]

Hey the board has been offline for the last few minutes. Sorry if that caused you a problem.
The players' are warming up in Canberra. it's a cold night and the re's slippery conditions.
So there's things in favour of Raiders - at least before kick off.

Raiders just scored first try against the run of play. It was the first time they'd been in the Bulldogs half!

[G Las D]

After dominating possession, Bulldogs punished when Raiders winger intercepts an Andrew Ryan pass and runs unopposed to touch down for Raiders
8-0 with the conversion kick to come!

[G Las D]

Half time in Canberra.

Raiders leading 10 - 0 in what to be fair is a scrappy match with more than average lost ball on a cold slippy night.
Dogs have been on the Raiders line often but haven't been able to break through, They looked shattered by half time.
Raiders just have to play canny to win this one. Can they be disciplined and keep frustrating the Dogs?
Time will tell.

Dogs lacking that extra bite.
Idris has been well involved early on but looks moody.
Made some strong tackles but no breaks, so far.

Edited by G Las D, 20 May 2011 - 11:39 AM.

[G Las D]

What is it with the Bulldogs?
They are pressing the self destruct button.
Barba prevents 40/20 kick but presents raiders with an opportunity to get posession, quick play of the ball and they are over.
Dogs with egg on their faces tonight... so far.

14- 0 to Raiders, kick to come.

[G Las D]

Well Bulldogs mounted some sort of comeback getting within 6 points of Raiders, but giving away a penalty saw raiders get a two point comfort zone for the last few minutes of the game.

Tolman had limped off just after half time and has some knee damage - he didn't return to the field of play. Barba got a smashing try. This game reminded me of last weeks Raiders v Storm game.
Dogs kept blasting almost blindly up the middle and Raiders big men generally absorbed the majority of it and then took their chances when they came.
A dull performance by Bulldogs, with Idris MIA apart form the first few minutes of big tackles.
Raiders won 3 tries to 2 to the delight of their home fans who've actually seen their team win again at Canberra Stadium.
Two wins does constitute a run ... and they have the bye next weekend. So 6 points in three weekends can't be bad.

The Tigers v Panthers game was on live here this morning.
I had to record it and watch it on my return.
Yes it was nail bitingly close but for me a disappointing game.
Panthers came so close to pulling off the upset.
Tigers had what the commentators called an ugly win.
One day Tigers will click and play well. Today's effort was disjointed and frustrating.
Tipping games like this is hazardous!
