Next Monday night the Canberra Raiders tackle the Melbourne Storm down at Olympic park. While we have not had the best start to the season heading into our first Bye, I think it is important to remember that we are not a club in crisis. While the ladder may say 2-6, we have been in every match and would have arguably won some of these if not for a few very contentious refereeing decisions.

The law of averages suggests that these decisions balance out by the end of the year, so surely we are bound to see some 50/50 decisions go our way, with a bit more luck we might even get some correct decisions awarded to the boys in green.

The effort is definitely there, this may sound clichéd, but it is true. When things start to click just watch how our side goes. We have blooded a lot of Rookies this year, who have all shown they have what it takes to match it in the NRL, these players are gaining valuable experience and the rewards will be shown in the future. Our new buys have also shown some quality form. All the ingredients are there for us to be successful.

The Raiders Army just want to remind all Raiders fans to get behind the side when they need you the most. It is very easy to get on board and show support when the side has won five in a row, but it is times like this when the support in the crowd can really help lift the side on the field.

Our next home game is against the Warriors on Sunday May 24, we would like to see a big turn out at Canberra Stadium to support the boys.

If you live in Sydney and are interesting in getting on A Raiders Army Bus to the game please contact Jed on jangus76@hotmail.com for further details.
