Raiders' bombers plan Akuila Uate attack CANBERRA co-captain Josh McCrone has hinted there may be an aerial bombardment heading the way of Newcastle winger Akuila Uate at Hunter Stadium today. Uate may be one of the most devastating attackers in the NRL, but McCrone believes catching is not his strongest trait. "So it wouldn't be a bad idea to sit him under a few bombs, especially with the catchers we've got like (Jack Wighton) on one side and (Blake Ferguson) and (Sandor Earl) on the other," McCrone said. Uate is in blistering form, scoring a double in Newcastle's 34-6 hammering of North Queensland last Monday to take his tally to five tries in three matches. Such a record in attack could mean McCrone will likely avoid kicking to the NSW and Australian representative. "Uate is a pretty formidable player," he said. It's not too much fun when you kick it to him and he charges straight back at you. But I mean that's part of footy. McCrone said the Raiders would be focused on repeating last Sunday's 80 per cent completion rate from their win against St George Illawarra. "We were beating ourselves with dropping too much ball in those first two rounds," he said. It might have just been a bit of a concentration thing individually.
