Canberra Raiders v Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs

 

[ouwet]

6-0 Dogs after 30mins

 

[ouwet]

6-4... conversion missed.

Raiders scored from a cross field kick.

 

[soc123_au]

Penrith vs Parra 10 all at full time. Pretty decent game given the conditions.

 

[ouwet]

45 min... Dogs 12-4

Morris scored in the corner... Kick converted by Inu

 

[ouwet]

75th min Raiders 22-12

 

[Raider_69]

Raiders ended up winners 22-18
horrible conditions, and raiders kicked on 1/5 conversions... think they won it 5 tries to 3.

 

[Charlie124]

Is there any way of seeing the Cows v Tits game on tv or streaming?

 

[Dread]

Sharks win 22-16.

 

[IanG]

I suspect that all games in NSW were in pissing down rain.

 

[IanG]

sharks win 22-16.

bugger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Allo]

Is there any way of seeing the Cows v Tits game on tv or streaming?

I don't know but........

From Twitter @nthqldcowboys
Halftime: Cowboys 10 lead Titans 6. Ashton Sims and Kalifa Faifai Loa tries for the Cowboys. Mead for the Titans.

 

[IanG]

Who knows. Even though they aren't televised I suspect they could be filmed for news and judiciary purposes.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Just got back from Sharks/Knights.

Rain more or less stopped for the game, which was good.

Knights were on top in the first half and led 10-nil. Sharks were better in the second half but were still down 16-4 well into the second half and then scored twice in about three minutes to level it. Wright the former Dogs player scored the winner with 30 seconds left.

The Knights halves combined well. They will be better with Gidley back. The forwards were also the equal of the Sharks, although Lewis and Gibbs didn't play and Gallen didn't play too many mins. Gordon was good for Sharks and they will be better with him at fullback. The Knights took the bulk of their stars off towards the end and there's no doubt that contributed to the Sharks fightback. But I don't think Bennett will be too worried.

Had a couple of mates up there, they said that the knights had it all over the sharks until the last 10 when they took basically everyone of note off and the sharkies scored most of their tries. So yeah I don't think Bennett will be too worried either.

 

[RWB]

Can anyone confirm the injuries to Bulldogs players?

 

[Paullyboy]

Apparently Ferguson got a mild concussion for the Raiders, didn't hear anything from anyone else involved in the game

 

[ceagle]

Did Barba play for the Dogs?

 

[Card Shark]

Apparently Ferguson got a mild concussion for the Raiders, didn't hear anything from anyone else involved in the game

Slid head first into a wire mesh fence after grounding a kick just inside the dead ball.

Ouch.
