We're getting a Panthers Storm GF again aren't we?
Unless the Raiders can continue their good regular season form come finals time.
-
Raiders defended well tonight, and Manly couldn't deal with Ethan Strange. Plays exactly like Jack Wighton funnily enough, the guy he replaced in the side.
-
On Ethan Strange, it's funny how Lachlan Galvin gets all the talk, but this guy has been the far better performer out of the 2 young 6s. I don't know who will have the better career, but so far, Strange has been considerably better.
-
I joked but I suspect there must be something in the nrl Sydney media that is just there to bait Tigers and Dogs supporters, potentially because they take the bait.
You’re right Strange is a NSW junior who has got better very quickly and should get more media, as does Sticky’s Raiders.
Different type of halves and Strange is a lot more physical and plays more of a running game, interesting but happy to be proven wrong but IIRC Galvin had more try assists and lba’s at the Tigers. Again different type of halves
But right now the focus should be on who is delivering for their team and the media have gone missing, again targeting Bula to the Dogs as a story this week

Good post, they do have different games. Strange could easily play as a centre as well. Galvin to me is only a 6. Is a decent prospect, needs room, has a good running game and is confident in his ability to make something happen, which is part of the reason why he has a few assists to his name. 7 is far too close to the action for him.

Don’t think either have a long kicking game either which most elite 7s have too. Galvin I think will have a good NRL career, interestingly I suspect Strange plays origin before him, if Galvin plays at all just based on their styles.
But Strange does have more versatility and could play centres at a pinch, he is very similar to Wighton without the negative personality aspect.
However I hope Galvin and the Dogs poor wet weather form continues tonight for the warriors sake. Although I’m sure come Monday although Strange led Canberra to a win, nothing gets a mention, but if Galvin gets one try assist….

Boyd dropped so I’m guessing TMM with CHT

Strange is my favourite player in NRL. Massive sidestep and very strong indeed. He is an excitement machine
-
We have had terrible luck with injuries but DWZ defence this year has been atrocious
-
We are are the worst at defending wing plays. TMM and Leka are huge outs can’t see us coming back from those losses
-
Wheels have fallen off at the Wahs unfortunately.
Losing Barnett and Metcalf for the season certainly didn't help.
-
@barky1 He'll be back next week.

No smarts out there. We get into decent attacking position and use a low percentage play on the last. Meanwhile the dogs are using grubbers and width superbly.
