We've had some close battles with Raiders and I thought they might prove to be the joker in the pack. They are on a roll right now and must have a lot of self belief. Can the same be said about Riders? Although we beat Nix in both games we were hardly convincing. Defence has been our lifeline but offence has looked decidedly lacking, especially from 3 point range.
Relieved we have the second leg at home because at least we'll have a target to aim for. Rob will want to win both games of course but Plymouth is a tough venue. Surely we can resurrect our ability to shoot from distance, despite the stats in the last two games.

What's it 4 years since we last beat Leicester? I wouldn't be worried if I was a riders fan

I wouldn't be worried if I was a riders fan If we aren't good enough to beat you guys over 2 legs then we don't deserve to win the playoffs this year No disrespect to you guys. But we should normally be happy with this match up in the semis of the playoffs I think we will win. But I'm not certain we will. So that's respect to you guys to finish my post. You have a dangerous team when firing. |

We would have took this semi given the chance If we don't get through we aren't good enough - simple as that |

mrtall I still think you should win it if Donte is on form as our 3 point shooting and free throw shooting is pretty crap to say the least.My only wish is for a great game,left to flow and not really physical.Roll on Sunday

Raiders can win this but need two key things to happen
1. Foul trouble, raiders need to avoid it they don't have the deepest bench
2. Hassan and Donte have to get inside I've seen average players get joy inside over the years against the riders, that will open up some perimeter shots we have to take!

Try stopping Nicholas getting inside! Many teams have tried but few succeeded this season. |

Looking at the fixture list Riders seem confident they’ll get through  |

Scrappy 1st half. No real flow to it.
