Sunday week, it is the Melbourne storm at Olympic Park. Greg Inglis is injured and Billy Slater was suspended for two matches. Is that enough for the Green Machine to have a chance of knocking them over. We never seem to have any luck in Melbourne.
Green and mean, we are the mighty Canberra Raiders.
Is it just me or since 2003 or so it seems Raiders V Storm games are grudge matches like Raiders V Brisbane. Maybe cause were both out of sydney teams no-one likes?
I reckon Raiders by 2 against the Storm. The Storm are my second team, but man i hope we beat them. As for the Roosters , A big crowd at the Canberra stadium on a sunday arvo to watch the boys win after running all over Finch and all the other girls.
I`d like the NRL to actually be national and i`m not a fan of any of the NSW clubs or the QLD clubs particularly when they refuse to acknowledge the game exists outside those states. I`ve been Green for 25 years and many in the game don`t want to know the Raiders or the Storm, so to shove it up em I support them as well. Heck no-one is even giving the tri-nations at the end of the year or the world cup in 08 any support either. it`s all the same. Long winded answer but i got a few grips.

Good answer green. Largely my sentiments too, however I don't hold as much of a grudge against QLD teams as I do NSW.
This will be a tight match even without the guys mentioned above.
I mean how good is this Storm team!! Craig Bellamy has done a great job down there. If there was a coach I wish was coaching the Raiders right now it would be him.
I still have nightmares. Bad enough we got thrased and my girlfriend and her family were all Storm Supporters, Then we had Monaghan steak down the feild.
