NYC Match Preview: Raiders v Bulldogs

The Raiders NYC side suffered a tough loss at the hands of the St George Illawarra Dragons last weekend, a game which needs to be quickly forgotten as the side aims to reclaim a top eight position this Sunday at home against the Canterbury Bulldogs.

“We need to definitely improve our first 10-15 minutes,” NYC winger Cameron Booth said. “If we start as well as we have for the last couple of rounds, as well as completing our sets and staying within our structure, then we can definitely get the win.

“Out wide we could have helped out the forwards a bit more against the Dragons and we got caught out a couple of times so it was a pretty disappointing loss.”

Any news on why Lachlan Croker isn't playing?

Yeah I'm interested in this.

Maybe he is working on his goal kicking

[The Greenhouse]

20th min Bulldogs get a penalty for a strip on a late tackle. They're attacking in the red zone... Get a repeat set, for a touch, a penalty... Now they've knocked on in the in goal, and the referee rules line drop out. The kick goes 60m!

[The Greenhouse]

23rd min TRY BULLDOGS to Marcello Montoya. The referee could not have given them more shots! No conversion from Jake Kamire.

Zac Woolford is impressive, be interesting to see how his career progresses.
