'12 | R8 | Sun | Raiders 22-44 Sharks | Canberra

[wibble]

Hang on, weren't the raiders forwards gunna smash and dominate all before them?

Oh that's right, they are the most over rated forward pack in the game. The only player who is under rated in the raiders pack is tilse.

Fensom and papalli are rated fairly, but pillow and tll.... Lol

I'm not sure they were rated as the best by most neutrals, just that they are a relative strength of theirs compared to other areas. I still think this is true, and they did well in the forwards v Melbourne, which seems a key to beating the Storm.

I'd say (with a tiny, unavoidable degree of smugness) that they were up against a very impressive forward pack who really are one of the benchmark packs in the NRL (maybe with Broncos and Bulldogs?).

 

[Spot On]

Surely now Carney must be the frontrunner for NSW #6

Surely he has been since round 3.

Thought the refs were brilliant today. Hats off to them.

Those calling for Croker and Ferguson to represent at SOO level this year need only watch a replay of that game to see why they have years to go before they can be given any such reward. Fix the basics gents.

TLL I'd agree with. He is well off his standard. But other than today Shillo has been killing it this year.

 

[Card Shark]

Canberra didn't deserve 22.

Sharks deserved 50.

The Raiders didn't play that bad but we strangled them.

 

[Mr Angry]

Disagree on Lahrs, thought he was quite good.

Schooled on possession.

 

[northwest9]

I'm referring to the fact that if you ask any raiders fan, they have the pillow, tll, fensom, papalli an Dugan, guaranteed premiership.

Having shit injury prone halves, and poor quality backs means nothing.

Their pack and Dugan, unbeatable. Only the refs can beat them

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

40 points scored by the Sharks is almost unheard of. Very impressive.

 

[Raider_69]

congrats sharkies

gallen taking the two was the RL version of the mercy rule
Carney put on a masterclass and showed why when he's head is in the right spot, he's the games best play maker. Controlled the game perfectly, had the ball on a string off his boot

Well deserved win.

Not that it in any way impacted the game but id like to know why the video ref can tip the referee's off to an obvious mistake, such as the kick out of the full late in the game, but he can not rule on an obvious forward pass on the sharks 2nd (might have been 3rd) try?
Either let him have a crack or tell him to butt out.

 

[northwest9]

Now to take a break from a good lol@failures

I have to commend the sharks for keeping carney in check. He is a (unt of a bloke, but a very talented (unt of a bloke. The sharks seem to be bringing out his best football, and that's a win for footy viewers.

Today was a master class, carney and gallen are magic to watch, and I'm not a sharks fan

This is absolute horseshit because every Raiders fans knows the team can't win without Campese.

I think he is in great form and deserves the NSW spot but "the games best play maker"... No. He is not the games best play maker.

 

[skeepe]

If we continue to play like that, even the Dragons will beat us.

Ok furner, your right, without an old, shit, bald half, who will never take on the line in any of his 36 minutes per season, the raiders can't win

Nothing to do with over rated forwards and shit halves and poor backs

Now u are just being ridiculous

 

[northwest9]

Come on skeepe, we all know you talk a lot of shit, but that's just taking it too far

 

[Walt Flanigan]

The Sharks were very very good today.

Simply starved us of possession with some great play and we were utterly helpless.

TBH I thought we looked ok with the ball and made plenty of metres but we just couldn't get our fair share of the footy today. Probably did well to get 22 points with only 40% possession.

But good win to the Sharks and well deserved. I look forward to watching them play like that against someone else.

Are you geniused?

Are you geniused?

He hates the Raiders that much I'm convinced he's Greg Alexander.

 

[runatme]

all the raiders trys were soft

 

[bileduct]

He hates the Raiders that much I'm convinced he's Greg Alexander.

Apparently someone spat on him at Canberra Stadium when he was there to support the cheats in round one.

I find that hard to believe unless he was being an absolute dickhead to someone, which, I guess would be pretty easy to believe.
