Canberra Raiders v New Zealand Warriors
Friday 22 March, 6:00pm AEDT
Rugby League Park, Christchurch
Tickets: Sold out
TV coverage: Fox League Channel 502
Radio coverage: ABC, Mix106.3, 2CC
Weather: Mainly fine. Mainly fine with high cloud. Cloud increasing from the south in the evening. Southwesterlies developing late morning, fresh at times. Min 8C Max 20C Temperature at kick off: 13C
The Canberra Raiders travel to the south island of New Zealand for their Round 3 clash with the Warriors. The match in Christchurch is sold out, so the atmosphere should be thick.
Last round: 2024 Round 2. Canberra Raiders 32 defeated Wests Tigers 12. Two wins from two games. Two wins by more than 13 points. It has been a good start to the season. As good as any Raiders fan could have hoped. The Tigers are a niggly, erratic, at times audacious team. They offload, throw the ball around without a care in the world. So they can be difficult to handle when they have the ball in hand. But apart from a two try flurry from the Tigers in the first half, the Raiders largely had the Round 2 game under control - and the defence was strong.
More on Round 2: As I saw it
Team news: Raiders back Sebastian Kris is unavailable for this match, after he failed an HIA during the win over the Tigers. Albert Hopoate replaces him at cente, with Nick Cotric coming in on the wing. Jordan Rapana passed an HIA after copping a high tackle from Aidan Sezer on Saturday, and is clear to play.
Elliott Whitehead (calf) returns from injury in the second row, pushing Zac Hosking to the bench. Ata Mariota has dropped out of the top 17. Corey Horsburgh is available, after completing a four match suspension - but has not been named in the top squad.
The Warriors are missing former Raiders fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad due to a hamstring problem - and he's not expected back until Round 4 or 5. Wayde Egan returns from an elbow injury at starting hooker, meaning Freddy Lussick drops to the bench.
Late changes: The Raiders omitted Ata Mariota, Trey Mooney and Zac Woolford from their squad on Thursday evening. They are 1-19.
The Warriors have lost Dylan Walker to an ankle injury. Jazz Tevaga comes into the top 17 on the bench. The Warriors left Chanel Harris-Tavita on the reserves list, in case Wayde Egan (elbow) was a very late scratching. Warriors assistant coach Richard Agar said on Friday morning that Egan will not play.
Milestones: This will be the 250th game as head coach of the Raiders for Ricky Stuart. It is also the 100th NRL game in green for Hudson Young.
History: The Raiders have won 26 of 50 games played against the Warriors. The Green Machine has taken out five of the past 10 matches between the clubs - and two of the past five. 2023 saw a resurgence in the form of the Warriors. But that's hardly a dominant recent record for Canberra - against a team that has only made it to the finals twice in the last 12 years.
The Raiders lost both match ups with the Warriors in 2023. In Round 15, the Warriors produced a big, 36-16, win in the 300th NRL match of Raiders captain Jarrod Croker. It was a very disappointing performance from Canberra, with five tries conceded in the second half. There was more heartbreak and drama in Auckland in Round 21. The Raiders scored two tries in the final two minutes to force extra time. However, Shaun Johnson showed why he is Canberra's nemesis - kicking the winning field goal in the second minute of gold point.
New Zealand has not been a happy hunting ground for the Raiders. They've won 10 from 24 games played in the Shaky Isles. The Raiders have never played in Christchurch.

2022 Round 8 - Warriors 21 defeated Raiders 20
2021 Round 24 - Raiders 28 defeated Warriors 16
Form: Raiders: LLLWW
Warriors: LWLLL
The Raiders finished 2023 on a three game losing streak. But they have produced two good victories to open 2024, beating the Knights (28-12) and Tigers (32-12). The Warriors finished fourth on the competition ladder last year. But they were only able to beat the Knights (40-10) in their finals campaign. They suffered big losses to the Panthers (32-6) and Broncos (42-10). And now they have lost their first two games of 2024. The Warriors went down to the Sharks in Auckland (16-12) in Round 1. On Saturday night, they staged a second half comeback against the Storm, taking a 26-18 lead with 10 minutes remaining. But the Storm then produced two last gasp tries to Ryan Papenhuysen and Xavier Coates to take the win.
Betting: The Warriors are $1.43 favourites, with the Raiders paying $2.82. The Raiders have 6.5 points start in the line betting.
Stat attack: The Raiders finished Round 2 on the top of the ladder - the first time that has happened in any round since Round 6, 2005. It is difficult to take too much from the statistics at this stage of the season. But the Raiders' attacking and defensive numbers generally compare well with those of the Warriors. The Raiders have the best possession share and completion rate in the league. Must be a long time since that has happened too!
Jamal Fogarty is currently the top point scorer in the NRL - and he has the most kicking metres to boot. Morgan Smithies has the most decoy runs so far in the league. Joe Tapine ranks sixth. The Raiders are running decoys now? Overall, they are running 10th in that department on a per match basis.
Canberra has opposed teams that have included Shaun Johnson 18 times - and lost 10 of those games. Johnson field goals have delivered defeats for Canberra in three games in the past five years: last year’s golden point loss in Auckland, the golden point loss at Redcliffe in Round 8 of 2022, and the one point loss in Round 3 of 2018 at Canberra Stadium. In the 2018 loss, he kicked two last gasp field goals in the final minutes to win the game for the Warriors.
2024 Season record: Raiders 2 and 0 (1st, +36), 1 and 0 away
Warriors 0 and 2 (14th, -8), 0 and 1 at home
Attack: Raiders 30 points and 5 tries scored per match, ranked 2nd on average tries scored
Warriors 19 points and 3 tries scored per match, ranked equal 8th on average tries scored
Defence: Raiders 12 points and 2 tries conceded per match, ranked equal 2nd on average tries conceded
Warriors 23 points and 4 tries conceded per match, ranked equal 10th on average tries conceded
Possession: Raiders 55 per cent, Warriors 53 per cent
Completion rate: Raiders 90 per cent, Warriors 79 per cent
Running: Raiders 1744 running metres per match, ranked 7th
Warriors 1863 running metres per match, ranked 4th
Tackle breaks: Raiders 30, Warriors 32 per match
Line breaks: Raiders 5, Warriors 5 per match
Try assists: Raiders 4, Warriors 3 per match
Offloads: Raiders 9, Warriors 9 per match
Kicking: Raiders 698 kicking metres per match, ranked second
Warriors 502 kicking metres per match, ranked 16th
Running metres conceded: Raiders 1256, Warriors 1201 per match
Missed tackles: Raiders 26, Warriors 27 per match
Ineffective tackles: Raiders 17, Warriors 11 per match
Errors: Raiders 8, Warriors 9 per match
Penalties conceded: Raiders 7, Warriors 6 per match
Penalties awarded: Raiders 9, Warriors 8 per match
My tip: The Warriors are firm favourites and there are reasons for that. They won't be playing at their home stadium, but will still have the advantage of playing in front of a sell out crowd of New Zealanders. The Warriors very nearly toppled the Storm in Melbourne in Round 2. Canberra has a poor recent record against the Warriors and in New Zealand. Then there's Shaun Johnson. He's caused the Raiders a lot of pain over the years. But Canberra has been good in their first two games of the season. And I think the game plan used against the Knights has every prospect of working well against the Warriors. I'm not confident. But I'm going to say Raiders by six.

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day
Moving house today. Got to get things set up to watch it!
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day
The Warriors have snatched victory over us in Golden Point recently. I still remember that game when we were leading by 2 and Lodge faked injury to tie it up and then Johnson kicking a field goal. Last year we played bad but Wighton scored that try from our end, Croker missing the conversion from the sideline to win, Fog gifting them a 7 tackle set and Johnson kicking a field goal in Golden Point
Let’s get it done team. We owe them one. 3-0 start to the season

If Warriors were playing any other team the would be meh, but even going back to his manly days Walker finds a way to have a big game against us so that is great news for us!

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day
Agreed, i was never a huge Egan fan but last year he was tremendous for them and a very big part of their attack, and in limited viewing this year i think there is more of the same coming. Big out for us!Hong Kong Raider wrote: ↑March 22, 2024, 7:29 amIf this is correct then I’m more confident. He straightens their attack and was their second best player last year

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day
The official statements from the Warriors have Egan playing with CHT as back up, so the assistant coach has revealed something inadvertently by the looks.
Full interview is interesting too:

Looking forward to getting out to a great start only for it to be ……. out the window when the super subs come on for the prop rotation.

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day
I can't get a read on this. The Warriors have played pretty well in both of their losses and were definitely unlucky against the Storm but what impact does that have on a team psychologically? Could be a tough effort to back up from.
The Raiders have started well and the Tigers win isn't a good one for judging form while the Knights went close against the Cows but a good team surely would have put them away in the first half.
We have a bad record against the Warriors of late so it's hard to be confident but I like Tapine saying that we haven't done anything yet and Ricky saying that they will only be more desperate if we allow them to be.
Hopefully it's a cracking game although it seems like you could make a strong argument for any outcome here.

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day
In one sense it's not a great time to be playing the Warriors. They've lost two games they really could or should have won, but CNK, Walker and Egan missing (if Egan is indeed missing) is a great time to play them. Shut-down Johnson and limit AFB's impact and we're a real chance.
As much as it is a positive CNK being out the young fella looks sharp - not wanting to stir up the 'fast-stepper' argument, but he is pretty quick on his feet. Our kick chase needs to be good. Seemed pretty good defusing grubbers but not fully tested under the high ball yet.

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day
TV will definitely be a priority.
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Agreed. He's a big loss for them.Botman wrote:Apparently Wade Egan is also out
Huge boost for us, he’s a really big part of the middle of the field for them
As well as CNK at the back.
I'm confident we'll put in a decent performance here. Ball security will be the key IMO. You can't gift Johnson easy field position.

Re: 2024 Round 3 v Warriors: Game Day
A bit breezy here and quite chilly.
Feels a bit like a mid winter game in Canberra
Ground looks lovely but I can see why they have a history of pitch invaders during the game, very easy access
