Week 2 Finals

[Blair]

Righto, I'm gonna watch this Viking Chant for the first time!

Is it a chant or clap?

If key Raiders play the full 80 eg no injuries they should have this game.
Which would leave the top 4 team from regular season (bit boring).

It's clapping not chanting but either way it's good, real good.

Great crowd involvement and for the team.
Not sure how effective it would be with 10k or less crowd!

Austin sells the dummy and Panthers fall for it and fall over like ten pins!
6-0

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Raiders getting the calls when it comes to strips/loose carries

We do play like that sometimes, and have so this season. .

Yeah, nah...

Sorry light years from the quality and pace of tonight and last night

Raiders have a tough gig getting past Melbourne but it's do-able, we did it.
They beat Storm during the year, but it was in Canberra.

Panthers were right back in it, 2 quick tries, all the momentum, Canberra pinned in their 30 after the fourth tackle and going nowhere....then Fisher Harris does a head high tackle.

The Panthers suffered from the same momentum-killing moments as we did throughout the season. They can blame it on youthful exhuberance.

Bodene Thompson's dropped ball at first or second receiver from the restart (after Kata's opening try) was probably the most costly error of the season for me. Souths were away from that moment and took our finals hopes with them.

It's petty to pinpoint one crucial mistake, in a season of many, but that's the one I remember most, along with Manu's similar drop during our comeback versus Tigers in rd 1. I'm sure we would've won that game. It was 26-28 and all us with about nine mins to go.

Yep, they are a young team - and people also forget were missing Whare,, Hiku, McKendry, Martin, and Campbell-Gillard (ok, Hiku's probably not in their top team any more)... along with Blake not playing last night

Next year add Aussie Jim and OMG, who knows where they could end up

I heard Vaughan was a beast last night? Let's hope we're making a big play for him.

They could be anything.

Anything.
