Ooof, I am so nervous. But I foolishly made a promise to a friend that I must keep so I will only see the first half tonight.

I hope that is enough...

Sezer taking command of the huddle and doing the talking before they went back in the sheds after the warm up.

Good to see.

I noticed him and Hodgson in deep conversation before last weeks game as well.

The faster service from dummy half to Sezer is helping both players.

I saw a stat that said that in 17 games against the Warriors Croker has scored 17 tries.

Well, we'd best make it 18 from 18, eh?

Here come the Raiders led by 100th game man, Josh Hodgson. It is a pretty sparse crowd, particularly in the uncovered parts of the stand. Now the Warriors. Raiders kick off, we are underway.

1st min Adam Blair drops the ball and the Raiders are on attack immediately. And the Raiders end the set with a forced line drop out via Jack Wighton. Perfect kick.

Warriors very light on the bench. We should aim at tiring their big boys in the middle as they don't have much relief in the interchange.

30. I would probably still be nervous at anything less.

4th min Jarrod Croker looks like he's knocked on over the line. They're going to the bunker with a no try call. It's closer than it looked live. But NO TRY.
