Wolves will be out to get revenge for the incredibly close loss on Friday. Newby is a great coach I think but I'm guessing Heron will be improving every game so I expect more from him tomorrow, despite jet lag and no time to train with Riders.

Riders have more depth so it will most likely be more of the same

Can’t see Lee being risked for tomorrow’s game,
Give him more time to recover and maybe bring him back for the Phoenix game,
We will definitely need him for the 12th Vs Eagles.
Once again it’s gonna be tough, as every team gets a boost when the league leaders come to town.

Not so much a bite as a large chunk. We are being outplayed across the board.

Riders putting on a clinic of how to miss wide open jumpers
But that is some embarrassing refereeing

Crandall lost his head but we'd lost the plot well before that incident. Riders couldn't hit a three for love or money and kept letting them fly without a plan B. Shooting of 2 pointers wasn't much better. Great defence by Wolves. Crandall was crucial to our hope of winning but he recklessly chucked away what looked like our last chance of maintaining our winning streak. Luckily, his teammates played out of their skin to win OT. Washington in particular was excellent. Think Wolves deserved their victory. They were hungrier and played better as a team.

Have to say that a share of the points of the two games was a fair outcome. Neither team deserved both W’s. Very evenly matched.

3pt% and poor rotation on defence the biggest culprits in that game. If we are hitting threes I don't think Geno gets frustrated and finishes the game for us.
Some horrible +/- from our bench, only positive is Connor taking over to force OT. Falzon and Frazer still looking like our weakest links, although Falzon's defence has stepped up a bit.
Rob will be glad to have a week off and watch those games back, certainly lot's to learn from them.
Seemed to be some words exchanged at the end between Geno and a Wolves player... Could make for an exciting 1st round play off matchup.

Agree with the above.
1-1 over the weekend a fair outcome.
Also agree the bench are a big problem. With the exception of the last two mins of regulation the offence was awful when Geno was out. If he'd played 35 mins Riders would have won by 10-15. But he didn't. Fraser/Falzon not working at the minute at all.
The bbl has finally found someone who can stop Geno.

Fortunately, Lions also lost, so the only winners for the Championship today look like the Eagles.
William Lee still clearly injured and trying to play through it, and Corey had a nightmare this afternoon.
Heron is getting better, but it's a slow job, hopefully a full week of practice will improve things radically.

Lacklustre all round. One to write off. Good job Lions lost.
And after Corey's winning 3 on Friday, he shoots 1-9 today. I am so glad I am not a betting man.

So long as we scrape the championship, I am fine with that.

Jesus Christ that was painful to watch from a Riders point of view,
We were woeful and never for a minute deserved the W even when we played out of our skin to get it back to level and OT,
Crandell needs his ass kicking for the way he got fouled out, Rob will give him hell (Deserved) for that.
Credit to Wolves, much better team than the table shows.
As for the commentators it was like listening to a child full of sweeties and fizzy pop, Calm the hell down dude.
Plus note the puppet master and his circus lost so not such a bad afternoon.
