Graham Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Just five minutes to kick off in the R18 Friday match. Raiders host a desperate Knights outfit to kick off round 18. Rick Stone’s men have recorded just one win since the first month of the season and need to snap their current five-game losing streak if they’re to be any chance of salvaging a 2015 campaign that promised so much early but delivered very little since. Canberra themselves come into this clash having not tasted a win in the last month either, and should be primed for a good showing to kick off a favourable post-Origin run home in their bid to play finals footy for the first time since 2012.

Graham Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Late Mail: The Knights are without Beau Scott (suspended) so Joe Tapine comes into the starting side, as does Pat VaiVai in 18 as Jeremy Smith drops back to the bench.

Graham Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Austin scores again. He followed up a great strong run to deceive the full back to plant ball under sticks. Third double of season.

Farmduck Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Wow!!! I tipped the Green Machine but I didn't expect this. The ground looks like a billiard table. With the Super RU season finished, they probably haven't used this ground for 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmduck Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Do Nine cover Raiders home games often? Only if they are playing the Broncos or on a Sunday afternoon once a year when there are 4 byes that weekend. From a ratings perspective, the Raiders are a complete loss (unless they play the Broncos) Also traditionally, the Brumbies RU team play on Friday nights.
