Some people on here are unhappy about us takeing a bankwest game to Darwin, We have have won 3/4 up there,
Admitting takeing a warm climate team like the cowboys to Darwin was a silly mistake. But if i had to choose a team to take to Darwin it would be the raiders, Because they are a cold climate team, i can see their big boys struggle in a heat they will find hard to adapt to. I Believe we can beat them up there. Parra by 8.

And considering there best players atm are Englishmen!
we all know how they handle the heat lol, I’m hoping for a scorcher, Wich parra paid a lot of attention to in their preseason. In saying that I think we will handle the conditions Much better than Canbera.
They will love the heat ahead of the much cooler Canberra ( and English )climate . It will be like a trip to the pacific islands in winter . Beautiful as not required to warm up for 2 hours before a game . And it is winter in the territory not summer or even spring . Sorry but we will have to beat Canberra on merits ???
We will have to agree to disagree on this one.
There is allot of merit in what i said,
it is Currenrtly 29 degrees in Darwin and 12 degrees in canberra, So despite your claim it’s winter in Darwin such is valid it is still a huge difference in climate,
Better than takeing the cowbiwys there like we have done recently. IMO....
There's no winter in Darwin - just dry season and wet season.
And thinking that the raiders will perform better in these conditions is stab in the dark with no real commen scence
behind your argument.
I would have thought so yes 12 months ago . However things happening have changed my opinion . I should note that I have lived in Canberra as well as subsequently in a 50 degree Celsius summer temp area . Also I have a new member to my family arrived from England last year who since arriving has lived and worked for 8 months in the Northern Territory without complaining about the heat . I hope you are correct though !!!
I hope we win i dont like to losing to Canberra
I hope so too Arnold . I hate losing to Canberra too !!!
And they have had a lot of trouble getting run down in the second half. Add a little heat and they probably will struggle to play the full 80
If Canberra play bad enough to lose to a reserve grade team, Then were some hope. If they play anywhere close to 60%-70% it’ll be enough to embarrass us yet again!
