I don't get how much Melbourne slow down the ruck & interfere with the play the ball and continually get away with it. Penalty count should be double.

+1 got away with so much thank god the raiders sealed it with a penalty of their own

Sharks fans breathing a sigh of relief.Still only one point behind them.

To play the ball.

A neutral sees it one way & Melbourne fans disagree, whaaaaaat ?

 

[Card Shark]

We are horrendous at defending the short kick off

Yes but when a team is doing that, it's desperation stakes by then.

 

[thorson1987]

I don't mind losing but it's the manner in which we lost which shits me. Well done Canberra - incredible defence

Yep.

merkins don't deserve to play finals football the way we played tonight.

Saying that, Canberra have most certainly contributed to our shitfest tonight.

This is an insane performance by the Raiders... Storm have thrown everything and then some with some truly impressive attack, but the Raiders have stopped all of it and with more aggression and purpose than I've seen for a while. They look like they're trying to physically intimidate and bully the storm on every tackle.

Lol at you being neutral when it comes to a Storm game.

 

[GongPanther]

congrats and very well done Raiders...now the other teams have a fair idea in what it takes to beat the storm.

Well done Canberra. Good game

Yes their defence was great. But our attack was absolutely shithouse.

Same thing every set.

Much better second half from Sezer. Raiders looking good for a long time now this year so no surprise that they beat Storm.

 

[Card Shark]

Sharks fans breathing a sigh of relief.Still only one point behind them.

How so?

Minor premiership doesnt matter but top 2 does...we are more chavnce of finishing 3rd than 1st.

Having said that, great to see the raiders hold their top 4 spot.

Best game raiders have played in years. Melbourne were completely off their game. Raiders defended brilliantly but Storm didn't throw a whole lot at them

Pretty much. I'm not too concerned because that was very unlike us. Will probs meet Raiders in October the way they are looking

 

[The Undertaker]

YEEEAHH Raiders.
GOOD to see the grubs get beat

Lol at you being neutral when it comes to a Storm game.

Go through the storm game thread (for this game & all games this year) & you'll realise how moronic that statement is. Not taking the loss well then.
